The Leva™ Interbody Device is an expandable titanium implant that is optimized for ease of insertion and for maximum post expansion bone graft capability. The retractable bullet nose design facilitates insertion, while the instrumentation provides controlled expansion within the interbody space. Perhaps most important, following the implantation and expansion of the device, the Leva™ Interbody Device is easily filled with bone graft with up to 68.5% of the total implant volume being available for graft material. The Leva™ Interbody Device is also available in a non-expandable version designed to appeal to surgeons whose primary interest is maximizing graft volume within a titanium device.
Features:
- Expandable titanium implant
- 4mm retractable bullet nose
- Open architecture for maximum bone grafting capability
- Post expansion grafting
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.

I am currently looking for a surgeon that uses the PX- interbody device as a fix to lower back problems.
I had surgery in 2013 and not only did I lose height I also am in constant pain. The method that was used was aa fusion of the si 3,4,5 and tail bone which has thrown everything dealing with balance off.
