Globus Medical launched ALTERA, a new minimally invasive fully articulating expandable spacer for spinal fusion.
The spacer is designed for restoring lordosis and maintaining sagittal balance while reducing the challenges of insertion. It aims to deliver the benefits of minimized insertion height, continuous expansion and optimized fit.
"Globus has led the way with our growing portfolio of transformative, disruptive technologies; we have had great reception and ongoing success with our CALIBER, RISE, CALIBER-L, LATIS, and MONUMENT interbody cages. Each of these implants along with ALTERA offers a better solution over traditional cages, be it a simplified procedure, tailored and optimized fit, or ease of insertion with minimal impaction. We are excited about the prospects for ALTERA, which is the fourth new disruptive TLIF expandable technology we've launched in as many years for Globus," said Andrew Iott, senior vice president of product development.
