Zavation Medical Products Launches Varisync ALIF System

Zavation Medical Products an innovator in spinal device technology, launched the Varisync ALIF System. Engineered to streamline ALIF procedures, the Varisync system offers customization and efficiency with two spacer fixation options: anchors and screws.
 
The Zavation Varisync ALIF System provides unique anchor fixation in fewer operative steps than traditional screw fixation methods and through a less invasive surgical corridor. 
 
The system’s spacers come in three standard footprints: 24×30, 26×35, and 28×40, with heights ranging from 11mm to 17mm and angles of 8 and 15 degrees. Taller height and hyperlordotic options (20 and 25 degrees) are also available within the system, catering to a wide range of surgical needs and patient anatomies.
 
The Zavation Varisync ALIF System includes patented Mimetic Metal cage technology in the F3D-Z Varisync ALIF spacers. This 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.
 
The system’s instrumentation allows for the simultaneous deployment of three pre-loaded anchors through a small, protected working corridor no wider than the smallest width Varisync ALIF cage. 
 
This anchor fixation method serves as an alternative to traditional screw fixation, particularly in challenging surgical scenarios where screw instrumentation angulation is impeded by patient anatomy, such as when the sacral slope limits access to certain lumbar spine levels.
 
The Zavation Varisync ALIF System is an anterior interbody fusion device indicated for use in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2 to S1. These patients should be skeletally mature and have had six months of non-operative treatment. These DDD patients may also have up to Grade I spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s).
 
The interior of the spacer component of the Zavation Varisync ALIF System is to be filled with autogenous bone graft material. The Zavation Varisync ALIF System spacer and plate assembly are an integrated fusion device intended for standalone use when used with screws. 
 
When used with anchors only the recessed plate may be used, and the assembly is intended for use with additional supplemental fixation that has been cleared by the FDA for use in the lumbar spine. 
 
Hyperlordotic interbody devices (>20 degrees) must be used with supplemental fixation (e.g. posterior fixation) that has been cleared by the FDA for use in the lumbar spine.
