SeaSpine Holdings Corporation began full commercial launch of the Reef TO (TLIF Oblique) Interbody System. The system is designed for posterior lumbar interbody procedures and accommodates both direct impact insertion and insert-and-rotate techniques. Reef TO offers a comprehensive set of decompression, disc preparation, and implant insertion instruments.
“We are extremely excited about the release of our Reef TO Interbody System. The design requirements were derived from extensive surgeon collaboration, balancing set efficiency and procedural versatility. This allows surgeons with differing techniques to address multiple pathologies via a single set of instruments,” Dennis Cirino, SeaSpine’s senior VP of Global Spinal Systems told the press. “Reef TO is a great addition to our expanding best-in-class implant portfolio.”
Reef TO interbody devices feature SeaSpine’s proprietary NanoMetalene surface technology (a sub-micron layer of commercially pure titanium bonded to a PEEK implant) and Reef Topography, added macro structures that provide greater titanium surface area and improved biomechanical stability.
Dr. Nilesh Patel, orthopedic surgeon at Beaumont Hospital, Dearborn, Mich., stated, “The Reef TO cage offers me all the sizes needed to fit my patient’s anatomy inclusive of the appropriate lordotic angles. The system is intuitive and ideal for placing with the insert-and-rotate or straight technique. The implant graft window is sizeable, and able to accommodate a large amount of OsteoStrand® Plus and autograft. This is now my implant of choice.”
