“The launch of PROLIFT Wedge furthers our commitment to offering patient matched expandable solutions,” said Mariusz Knap, senior vice president of Sales and Marketing for Life Spine. “PROLIFT Wedge is another innovative expandable interbody added to our existing portfolio providing surgeons with multiple solutions for improving patient care.”
The PROLIFT Wedge Expandable Spacer System marks the company’s 11th expandable FDA 510(k) clearance that includes expandable solutions for PLIF, TLIF, and LATERAL procedures.
The PROLIFT Wedge's key features and benefits include:
The PROLIFT Wedge Expandable Interbody Spacer System with OSSEO-LOC Surface Technology is a lordotic expandable implant for Micro Invasive TLIF and PLIF procedures. The device maintains coronal alignment while achieving sagittal correction through controlled lordotic expansion of up to 15 degrees. The implant is designed with multiple implant heights and widths to optimally fit the patient’s disc anatomy. Once the patient specific correction has been achieved, PROLIFT Wedge is auto locked in position and can be packed with graft in situ through the OSTEO-LINE Graft Delivery Device.
