The Standalone Brigade System for ALIF, an intervertebral device with integrated screws, is designed for anterior lumbar fusion and support through a single approach. Featuring fundamental design principles for successful anterior lumbar fusion, each instrument and implant is designed to enhance safety, stability and efficiency.
The Brigade system’s innovative design provides clinical benefits, including: Ability to place four screws for maximum rigidity, even in the toughest access situations; Screw locking mechanism in implant, with a single step and simple to confirm; Innovative depth gauge that allows you to determine the proper screw length in 2.5mm increments. Our experience in design and clinical evaluation ensured the Brigade system’s ability to provide an effective solution for ALIF in a single approach. We are confident that you will see the same results in your practice and be satisfied with the benefits the Brigade system will provide your patients.
