Clinical Feedback:
Dr. Hanbing Zhou, MD, a fellowship-trained orthopedic spine surgeon practicing at the Bone & Joint Institute at Hartford Hospital in Hartford, CT, utilized the Varisync ALIF System. This inaugural case took place in early August 2024. Dr. Zhou noted, “The Varisync ALIF System significantly reduces procedural complexity with its new anchor-based fixation. Its innovative design and efficient deployment make it a game-changer in ALIF procedures. In addition, the 3D Printed Mimetic Metal technology’s porous design provides conduits for osteointegration”.

Patented Mimetic Metal^® Technology:
The Zavation Varisync ALIF System incorporates patented Mimetic Metal® cage technology in the F3D-Z Varisync ALIF spacers. This advanced technology is designed to emulate natural bone with a directional lattice architecture and trabecular pores. In-vitro studies have demonstrated that Mimetic Metal significantly increases osteoblast activity compared to machined solid titanium, PEEK, and HA-PEEK. Additionally, in-vivo studies have shown remarkable bony in-growth and on-growth in both cortical and cancellous bone^*.
