The Camber TLIF (Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion) device is a single-component device manufactured from PEEK-OPTIMA, with one tip and two anterior-posterior titanium-alloy imaging markers. Titanium coating is plasma sprayed onto the device integration surfaces.
The Camber is anatomically shaped to fit the lumbar disc space optimally, with two different lengths and multiple heights to restore disc height. The tapered nose makes insertion of the device simpler. The titanium-coated surfaces and large bone graft window improve osseointegration with the vertebral endplates and bone graft, resulting in a more stable construct. The procedure for insertion of the Camber is simple and time efficient, with easy-to-use instrumentation that allows a minimally invasive approach when used in conjunction with the SOLFIX MIS system. The placement instrument, along with a titanium alloy hinge in the device, facilitates pivoting between the vertebral bodies and results in a smaller surgical incision. It is recommended to augment the Camber with supplemental posterior fixation using the SOLFIX2/ SOLFIX MIS pedicle screw and rod systems.

About TLIF
A transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) is performed to remove a portion of a disc that is the source of back or leg pain. Bone graft is used to fuse the spinal vertebrae after the disc is removed. TLIF provides fusion of the front and back of the lumbar spine. The front portion of the spine, called the anterior column, is stabilized by the interbody spacer and bone graft. The back portion, or posterior column, is locked in place with pedicle screws, rods and additional bone graft, alongside the backs of the vertebra.
