Torus-SA is a 3D Printed Expandable Stand-Alone lumbar cage. This product is not cleared by the FDA for distribution in the U.S.
Features:
- Titanium Alloy Implant with 3D Printed Textured Titanium Endplates Promotes Immediate Mechanical Fixation & Potentially Upregulating the Production of Osteogenic Factors that are Critical for Bone Growth & Fusion
- Inserted at a Reduced Height to Minimize Impaction & Preserve Endplate Integrity
- Automatic Locking Once Desired Expansion Height is Achieved Without Loss of Height Restoration Helps to Streamline Procedure
- Large Graft Window with the Ability to Pack Bone Graft After Being Expanded, Assists with Sentinel & Columnar Fusion Through the Implant
- There is No Loss of Length When the Implant is Fully Expanded – Length is Not Compromised
- Controlled & Continuous In Situ Expansion Allows for Foraminal & Disc Height Restoration
- When Expanded in the Disc Space, the Implant Optimizes Endplate-to-Endplate Fit to Assist in the Restoration of Normal Alignment
- Bulleted Tip Simplifies Insertion in Collapsed Degenerative Discs Without Compromising the Apophyseal Ring
- Adjustable Trials Reduces Trailing Steps & Accurately Determines Optimal Implant & Disc Height
- Multiple Footprints With Effective Sizing Allows for Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) Approach & Optimal Fit for Larger Patient Anatomies
- Streamlined Instrumentation Provides the Surgeon Minimal Tissue Disruption & Nerve Retraction While Restoring Patient Alignment
About LLIF
The Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion (LLIF) procedure is a minimally disruptive surgical technique in which the surgeon approaches the spine from the side of the patient’s body, rather than the front or back as in traditional spine surgeries. This side (lateral transpsoas) approach can reduce the risk of injury to muscles, nerves, and blood vessels.
The XLIF and DLIF are types Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion, or LLIF, which is a category of fusion in which the disc in the front of the spine is removed and replaced with an implant containing a bone graft to set up the condition for the two vertebrae to fuse together through the disc space.
XLIF uses a minimally invasive, transpsoas approach to the spine. The surgeon uses his or her finger to perform blunt dissection through a posterior paraspinal incision to escort dilators and a guide wire into position directly over the psoas muscle. Using his or her finger the surgeon is able to create a retroperitoneal space and protect the viscera and prevent possible injury.
With the DLIF technique, some surgeons have chosen to perform this procedure through a single miniopen lateral approach without the use of the posterior incision to create the retroperitoneal space. With the single incision, the layers of the abdominal wall are directly visualized, and the retroperitoneal space is created under direct vision with passage of instruments through the psoas. In addition, the use of electrophysiological monitoring, including triggered and freerunning electromyography (EMG), reduces the likelihood of injury to the lumbosacral plexus when accessing the disc space through the psoas muscle. Dilators, which contain insulated tips allow for EMG monitoring as they are introduced via the transpsoas approach to the disc space. If a dilator passes in proximity to the lumbosacral plexus, the surgeon is warned both visibly on a graphic display and also via auditory feedback. The surgeon can then adjust his or her trajectory to reduce the likelihood of neural injury.
