The TLX 20 expandable implant’s integrated auto-lock feature allows surgeons to incrementally customize expansion up to 20 degrees of oblique lordosis and tailor implant expansion based on a patient’s clinical need, compared to many expandables in the market which only offer up to 15 degrees of lordosis. The implant profile is designed to optimally contour to a patient’s interdiscal space to help maintain coronal alignment while achieving sagittal correction, an important aspect of desired patient outcomes that has been clinically validated through research and data from NuVasive’s Integrated Global Alignment® (iGA®) platform.
In addition, the TLX 20 degree implant system includes a single, low-profile instrument to position, expand and post-pack the implant with bone graft, improving visualization into the disc space and surgical workflow. The implant also features increased tapering at the distal tip to aid insertion into a collapsed disc space, common among patients with degenerative disc disease, while minimizing the disruption to the surrounding anatomy.
