The Forza Ti Spacer uses Orthofix’s Nanovate technology. It is 3D-printed, has porous titanium and has a large window for packing bone-grafting material.

“The large opening for packing bone grafting materials and the 3D-printed titanium endplates of the FORZA Ti Spacer are well designed to aid in our goal of maximizing bone ingrowth to aid fusion,” said Dr. Siegal of Cleveland-based St. Vincent Charity Medical Center.

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 18–20 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
