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.
About Spine Wave

Since then, the Company has grown by delivering meaningful solutions to real clinical challenges. As a result, Spine Wave has become the innovation leader in expandable and less-invasive spinal technologies with a broad and differentiated product and intellectual property portfolio. Spine Wave’s product portfolio features many highly differentiated technologies including the StaXx® IB Expandable Interbody Device and the StaXx® XD Expandable Device, which has a seven year proven track record in posterior surgery. 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 StaXx® IBL Expandable Interbody Device, the Abacus® Lateral Spacer System and the XLR® Lateral Access System represent Spine Wave’s offering for the lateral surgical approach. In addition to the expandable spacer technologies, the Sniper® Spine System has developed a reputation as a leading MIS screw system and is now complemented with the Annex® Adjacent Level System.
