Medtronic's new ACDF device designed to streamline procedures

Spinal Tech

Medtronic launched a single-level anterior cervical discectomy and fusion device today — DIVERGENCE.

The new system is designed for one-level ACDF. The system's plate and interbody cage can be inserted simultaneously with a common set of instruments and one surgical technique. This is different from the traditional approach using a four-hole plate and interbody fusion cage that require a two-step insertion technique.

 

The DIVERGENCE system also incorporates a laterally-divergent screw insertion technique, which requires less retraction than traditional medially-convergent screw insertion techniques.
