Here are five things to know:
1. The Arsenal CBx system uses a midline approach and cortical bone trajectory, creating maximum fixation during a less-invasive procedure.
2. Including implants and instrumentation for a less-invasive procedure, the Arsenal CBx provides surgeons with better visualization and decompression access.
3. The system is designed to help decrease muscle retraction and tissue resection.
4. Arsenal CBx is compatible with posterior lumbar interbody fusion and transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion applications.
5. Alphatec Spine released Arsenal CBx in the second quarter of 2015.
“With Arsenal CBx, I am able to surgically treat patients who have a larger body habitus or who are very muscular with a less-invasive approach that I believe will create better fixation and improved outcomes,” said Brian T. Rose, MD, surgeon at Texoma Medical Center in Denison, Texas.
