TSPACE® Titanium is an implant used for stabilization of the lumbar and thoracic spine through a transforaminal or transarticular approach, monosegmental or multisegmental. TSPACE® has been designed to fit the requirements of the minimal-invasive surgical technique. Accordingly, the innovative S4® Spinal System, the Spine Classics retractor system and the TSPACE® cage form an interesting combination for spinal fusion.
The implant is mantled with the proven Plasmapore® coating to increase the contact area between implant and endplate and to expedite a solid osteointegration.
Advantages
- Unilateral and minimally invasive approach to the spine
- Together with S4® Spinal System and the Spine Classics MLD retractor proven in hundreds of surgeries by using the mini-open technique
- Wide range of implant sizes presenting the right implant to fit the patient
- Simple and clearly arranged instruments
Features
- The banana-like form ensures a maximized contact area between vertebrae and implant while being slim enough to be inserted through the foramen
- Plasmapore® coating for high primary and secondary stability
- Anatomical shape and serrated profile
- Firm connection to the inserter by means of a screw thread
About TLIF
A transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) is performed to remove a portion of a disc that is the source of back or leg pain. Bone graft is used to fuse the spinal vertebrae after the disc is removed. TLIF provides fusion of the front and back of the lumbar spine. The front portion of the spine, called the anterior column, is stabilized by the interbody spacer and bone graft. The back portion, or posterior column, is locked in place with pedicle screws, rods and additional bone graft, alongside the backs of the vertebra.
