3D-printed porous titanium lumbar interbody with 2-level clearance! Proprietary Design Featuring Unique 3D-Printed Porous Titanium FLX Solution.
Benefits: FLX
- Flexible: FLX implants include a solid exoskeleton for added strength, along with a proprietary lattice scaffold designed to have a stiffness similar to bone. Reduced device stiffness is known to minimize stress-shielding and enhance the fusion process.
- Lucent: FLX implants include porous radiolucent sections with optimized density to reduce imaging artifacts—enhancing intra-operative visualization & post-operative fusion assessment compared to solid titanium implants.
- MatriX: FLX implants include a FUSE-THRU™ osteoconductive trabecular scaffold, bioengineered to allow the potential for bony on-growth and in-growth throughout the implant. This unique porous structure contains micro, macro, and nano structural characteristics designed to promote the fusion healing process by influencing cellular events related to the production of new bone.
Features:
Proven STALIF Design: STALIF M FLX is built upon the simple, elegant design and proven success of the STALIF foundation.
- Integrated Interbody: No Profile®; No Supplemental Fixation
- The integrated cage and screw system of STALIF M FLX is cleared for use without supplemental fixation, while the “No Profile” design allows it to nest fully within the confines of the vertebral body—leaving the anatomy unchanged external to the interbody.
- The Lag Effect
- Compressive lag fixation ensures biomechanical stability and provides secure graft-endplate contact. Lag screws reduce the vertebral bodies onto the cage creating graft / endplate surface compression to provide the best opportunity for fusion.
- Biomechanical Equivalence
- The STALIF M FLX device is engineered to achieve equivalent biomechanical performance to anterior plate & cage, as well as posterior pedicle screw and cage, constructs11 Cappuccino A, et al. Multi-Directional Flexibility Properties of the STALIF MIDLINE™ Device. October 2011.
- Anti Back-Out® Screws
- STALIF M FLX screws provide an added layer of security with an Anti Back-Out® (ABO®) titanium split-ring which first compresses and then deploys during insertion.
Large Graft Area: The implant is designed with a large, open, concave graft containment cavity to maximize the volume of bone graft (allograft and/or autograft) material to better promote fusion.
Multiple Heights & Footprints:The STALIF M FLX Interbody system consists of varying heights and footprint options to accommodate individual pathology and anatomical conditions.
About Centinel Spine
Centinel Spine®, LLC is the largest privately-held spine company focused on anterior column reconstruction. The company offers a continuum of trusted, brand-name motion-preserving and fusion solutions backed by over 30 years of clinical success—providing the most robust and clinically-proven Total Disc Replacement and Integrated Interbody™ portfolios in the world.
The company began operations in 2008 through the merger-acquisition of two pioneering medical device companies—Raymedica, LLC and Surgicraft, LTD. UK-based Surgicraft launched the first Stand-Alone/No Profile® anterior lumbar interbody fusion device in the world in 1988, which was the basis for future generations of the market-leading Integrated Interbody™ technology platform known today as STALIF®.
The company recently acquired the prodisc® Total Disc Replacement Technology Platform—the most extensive cervical and lumbar motion-preserving reconstruction portfolio available today. With the addition of prodisc, Centinel Spine stands apart as the only company with comprehensive motion-preserving and fusion solutions for both cervical and lumbar anterior column reconstruction . http://www.centinelspine.com
