The Lucent XP Expandable Interbody device is a unique addition to the spinal fusion market. The main features of the device are its ability to expand in height and increase in lordotic angle after it has been surgically implanted.The height expansion helps restore the height of the spinal disc space and the lordotic angling helps correct the curvature of the spine. With the Lucent XP device, surgeons can achieve up to 15 degrees of lordotic angle, helping restore sagittal balance for the patient

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.
