Uniquely designed for successful spinal procedures

Our innovative portfolio of products provides versatility for the surgeons who use them. Currently our systems are indicated for these procedures:


Anterior Cervical Discectomy Fusion (ACDF)

Removal of cervical disc via an anterior approach. Interbody spacers are employed and cervical plating is optional in order to assist in fusing the adjacent vertebral segments.

Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (ALIF)

Fusing adjacent vertebral bodies by removing the intervening disc and inserting interbody spacers and/or grafting material. Accomplished via a direct or anterolateral surgical approach which may be either transperitoneal or retroperitoneal in nature. Often performed in conjunction with supplemental posterior instrumentation.

Deformity Correction of the Thoracolumbar Spine

Returning the sagittal, coronal or rotational alignment of the thoracolumbar spine to a more normal (balanced) alignment by mechanical manipulation and resecting bone and disc as necessary. This may be assisted by pedicle screw fixation, interbody spacers and bone grafting for fusion.

Lumbar Fracture Fixation

The process of restoring stability to fractured lumbar elements by using various fixation devices in combination with bone grafting to obtain fusion.

Lumbar Fusion

A broad definition for the fusing of lumbar vertebral bodies, which may or may not include discectomy and interbody spacers. The approach may be anterior, posterior or lateral.

Posterior Cervical Fusion (PCF)

Fusing adjacent cervical segments by fixation and/or bone grafting the posterior elements (lamina, spinous processes and/or facets) via a posterior approach.

Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (PLIF)

Fusing adjacent vertebral bodies by removing the intervening disc and inserting spacers and/or graft material in the interbody space. Accomplished via a direct posterior surgical approach.

Posterolateral Fusion (PLF)

Fusing adjacent vertebra by preparing and grafting between the transverse processes and the facets (posterior and lateral to the lamina) without the use of interbody spacers.

Thoracic Fracture Fixation

The process of restoring stability to fractured thoracic elements by using various fixation devices in combination with vertebral body replacements, interbody spacers, and/or graft material to obtain fusion.

Thoracic Fusion

The act of fusing the bony portion of one or more thoracic vertebral segments by bone healing.

Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF)

Fusing adjacent vertebral bodies by removing the intervening disc and inserting spacers and/or graft materials to the interbody space. Accomplished with a posterior transforaminal surgical approach.
