LONGBOW™

The innovative LONGBOW Expandable Lateral Spacer System is the first interbody on the market that expands laterally (A/P) in-situ specifically for a direct lateral approach. The benefits of LONGBOW are transferred directly to the patient by minimizing tissue retraction and potential nerve damage associated with the lateral access approach.

• LONGBOW VIDEO ANIMATION

Benefits:

• May decrease the amount of retraction by as much as 45% compared to current lateral systems
• Simplified insertion of bone graft after expansion
• Radiopaque tantalum markers improve intraoperative visualization
• Up to 11cc of graft volume fills implant and endplate concavities

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.
