Product Overview
The innovative LONGBOW Expandable Lateral Spacer System is the first interbody on the market that expands laterally (A/P) in-situ specifically for a direct lateral approach. The benefits of LONGBOW are transferred directly to the patient by minimizing tissue retraction and potential nerve damage associated with the lateral access approach.
• May decrease the amount of retraction by as much as 45% compared to current lateral systems
• Simplified insertion of bone graft after expansion
• Radiopaque tantalum markers improve intraoperative visualization
• Up to 11cc of graft volume fills implant and endplate concavities
