The Dallas-based orthopedic implant company’s current anterior lumbar implant offering includes a traditional interbody with the option of an integrated plate and a standalone interbody with screw fixation. The regulatory clearance expands the company’s portfolio to deliver anchor fixation through a less invasive surgical approach instead of traditional integrated spacers.

Anchor fixation allows for easier implantation in challenging patient anatomy. According to 4WEB, it provides comparable mechanical stability to traditional standalone ALIF systems with screw fixation and allows multiple options for securing the interbody to the vertebrae.
