This state-of-the-art titanium spinal implant features an advanced load sharing strut design that gives the user an implant with a modulus of elasticity that mimics that of natural bone, promoting bone growth while retaining the strength of titanium. The InFix® Anterior Lumbar Device implant is assembled in situ, and provides complete sizing flexibility.
Benefits:
- Customizable to varying patient anatomy
The modularity of the InFix device allows the user to create up to 84 different combinations of endplate size, height and lordotic angle to provide individual matching of the patient’s natural lordotic curve. - In situ assembly
InFix is assembled within the disc space, distracting as it is inserted, thereby eliminating the need to over-distract for implant insertion and thus mitigating distractor mediated endplate disruption and maintaining ligament integrity. - Sagittal balance restoration
Because no patient or pathology is the same, the InFix device was developed to help re-create the natural lordotic curvature of the spine. Different from competitive implants, the modularity of the device allows the level of lordosis to be dialed in from zero to 18 degrees.
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.
