The Ax interbody is composed of Hydroxyapatite infused PEEK and a titanium face plate. With multiple footprints and lordotic options (including a 30 degree hyperlordotic option) the Innovasis Ax is perfect for anterior interbody fusion.The Innovasis Ax Stand-Alone ALIF System is an intervertebral body fusion device for use in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels of the lumbar spine (L2-S1). These implants are used to facilitate fusion in the lumbar spine and are placed via an anterior (ALIF) approach.
Features:
- The implant is radiolucent allowing straightforward assessment of the fusion process, while two tantalum spheres enable implant visualization during the surgical procedure. The HA PEEK body is joined to a 6 Al 4V ELI titanium faceplate that interfaces with the inserter and holds the fixation screws.
- The device is offered in an array of sizes: three footprints, six height options and four lordosis options. The implants have a tapered leading edge which aids in implant insertion due to limited anatomical space. They feature a slightly convex profile to match the anatomy and anti-migration surface to ensure implant stability during the fusion process. The large graft cavity provides increased volume for autograft loading.
- 44° Lateral Diverging Screw Angle (22° per side)
- 10° Conical Variability
About ALIF Cages
Anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) is a spine surgery that involves approaching the spine from the front of the body to remove disc or bone material from in between two adjacent lumbar vertebrae. The disc material is then replaced by cage containing bone graft or bone morphogenetic protein.The ALIF cage maintains normal disc height as the bone graft fuses with the bone of the vertebrae above and below to stabilize the spine.
About Innovasis
Innovasis is a rapidly growing company engaged in the research, development, manufacturing, and marketing of spinal implant devices and related products. Innovasis offers a spinal product line with implants and instruments that address the major pathologies and focus areas of traditional spinal surgery. Major spinal pathologies include; deformities, degenerative conditions, trauma and tumors, all of which can result in severe back pain and sometimes paralysis. These can occur in all areas of the spine, from the cervical region down through the thoracic, lumbar and sacral regions. Spinal implants are aimed at restoring mechanical and neurological function by readjusting vertebral positioning until bone fusion occurs. Innovasis is fully committed to providing surgeons and distributors with training, support and excellent customer service, thus ensuring the establishment of a strong and long term strategic partnership.http://www.innovasis.com
