ELSA®-ATP is an expandable lateral system designed to provide access to the lumbar spine anterior to the psoas muscle. Entering the disc space from this approach helps to avoid complications associated with the lateral trans-psoas approach and the lumbar plexus. This anterolateral working corridor also allows for direct access to L4‑L5 where a high iliac crest may complicate the direct lateral approach.
Features:
- ELSA®-ATP expandable interbody spacer with integrated fixation designed to limit psoas retraction
- Angled inserters designed to insert ELSA®-ATP, RISE®-L, and TransContinental® spacers
- MARS™3VL blades designed to maximize visualization and corridor stability
- ATP angled lateral disc preparation instruments help facilitate a thorough discectomy
- ELSA®-ATP requires supplemental fixation, in addition to integrated fixation.
About Expandable Cages
Expandable interbody cages allow surgeons to go through a small corridor and change the geometry of the cage to correspond to what the patient’s spine requires. These implants may help protect a patient’s nerve roots and other structures in the area near the cage or along the corridor through which they are implanted. Sometimes can be implanted with a minimally invasive surgical procedure.
