US-based medical devices company Spine Wave has commercially rolled out its Exceed Biplanar Expandable Interbody Device with TiCell Nano Advanced Surface Technology.
The Exceed is an expandable interbody device intended for Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) and Posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) procedures.
It features all-titanium construction, biplanar expansion, easy and fast post-expansion grafting, and advanced surface technology.
The implant expands in cephalad to caudal and medial to lateral planes to increase the endplate to implant surface apposition and provides a wide-open space for grafting and visibility.
Also, the system integrates with the company’s GraftMag Graft Delivery System for rapid, easy, and voluminous post-expansion grafting.
Spine Wave global marketing and business development executive vice president Laine Mashburn said: “Spine Wave’s launch of the Exceed Biplanar Expandable Device continues and strengthens the company’s leadership position in the market for expandable devices.
“The Exceed Biplanar Expandable Device addresses important clinical needs very well and offers appealing features that are appreciated by spine surgeons.
“The TiCell Nano Advanced Surface Technology featured on the Exceed Biplanar Expandable Device is an important and promising platform technology for Spine Wave.”
The Exceed Biplanar Expandable Interbody Device features TiCell Nano Advanced Surface Technology, the company’s patented, in-house developed advanced surface design.
Spine Wave said that the TiCell Nano surface is produced using both nanosecond and femtosecond lasers to form a hierarchical surface structure.
The nanosecond laser produces a roughened, microporous texture, which is intended to enhance implant-to-vertebral endplate fixation.
Also, the femtosecond laser produces sub-micron and nanoscale features designed to replicate the natural geometry within osteoclastic resorption pits.
The TiCell Nano Advanced Surface Technology can be applied to any titanium implant substrate, including machined and 3D-printed designs.
Spine Wave said that the Exceed Biplanar Expandable Interbody Device is its first implant to feature TiCell Nano Advanced Surface Technology, with plans to expand it to more devices.
