SeaSpine began full launch of its Explorer TO (TLIF oblique) expandable interbody system, the first expandable interbody system in its Explorer family.
Explorer TO offers a posterior interbody solution with two types of implants, one expanding in height and the other in lordosis, that use the same instrumentation. Explorer TO also streamlines allograft/autograft delivery post-implant and expansion.
The company aims to roll out further expandable interbodies to accommodate different approaches and techniques in the future.
“As a minimally invasive spine surgeon, I am always looking for an interbody device that minimizes tissue and nerve disruption, while maximizing height restoration,” Dr. Azam Basheer of Henry Ford Hospital told the press. “Despite the cage’s slim profile and tapered nose, it offers an immense amount of continuous distraction force to maximize foraminal height and sagittal balance restoration.”
“We designed Explorer TO with both minimally invasive and complex open deformity surgeons in mind, addressing both TLIF and PLIF needs required in profile, robustness, and post-packability,” said Shaeffer Bannigan, SeaSpine’s VP of product development. “This new product offering allows SeaSpine to compete in the expandable interbody market in a much more effective and complete manner than we could in the past.”
