The Alpine XC Adjustable MIS Fusion System is a posterior attachment spinal fixation system compos/ed of spinous process plates, dedicated surgical instruments, and sterilization cases. The components are used to build a construct to provide stabilization of spinal segments in the thoracic, lumbar and sacral spine to support fusion. The Alpine XC Adjustable MIS Fusion System device is part of the Biomet Spinal Fixation System, which offers the surgeon a variety of implant components from which to assemble a suitable construct according to each individual patient’s needs and requirements. It is essential to use the Biomet Spine implants with their specifically designed instruments.
Benefits:
First of its Kind
- The only spinous process fixation device with an adjustable, fenestrated core and adjustable-length plates
More MIS
- The ability to insert the device in a small, collapsed configuration allows for minimally invasive exposure
Patient-Specific
- Adjustable sizing allows for an optimized anatomical fit
In Situ Compression
- In situ device compressibility enables surgeon control of lordosis and provides the ability to load interbody grafts
Advanced Coating Technology
- The only spinous process fixation device on the market that features titanium plasma spray coating specifically designed to enhance fixation at the bone-implant interface
About Interspinous Devices
Interspinous spacers sometimes also called as Interspinous process decompression systems, are the devices implanted between vertebral spinous processes. These spacers are made up of a very strong but lightweight metal (titanium) which is biocompatible in the human body. These devices are imbedded in body to confine painful motion else enabling normal motion and to treat lumbar spinal stenosis, discogenic low-back pain, facet syndrome, disc herniations, and non-traumatic instability. Lumbar spinal stenosis is a thinning of the spinal canal in the lower back which causes compression on nerves and it is developed gradually with age. Radiology tests are used to confirm a diagnosis of moderate degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis. People with lumbar spinal stenosis experience pain but may also have weakness in their leg, lower back and buttocks, numbness, tingling.
The Interspinous spacer are implanted between those vertebrae in such a way that it prevents the patient from bending too far backward which causes pain by surgical procedure. The procedure is very small and sometimes patient can go home within a day.The increasing prevalence of spinal stenosis due to aging, arthritis, heredity and increased demand of surgical procedures that improved lifestyle and comfort will drive the Interspinous spacer market. The adoption of spacers are increasing due to low complication rate as compared to decompression and spinal fusion. The Interspinous spacers are widely used in geriatric population as per Medicare data due to old age patient are not comfortable with surgery due to their health conditions.
