The all-titanium interbody device combines the Leva device with the GraftMag graft delivery system into one set configuration, the release said. It also includes a new insertion and expansion instrument designed for open and minimally invasive spine procedures, along with an expandable sizing instrument.
“The expandable sizer used together with the Leva Interbody Device and GraftMag Graft Delivery System, has given me a complete and repeatable procedure,” Christopher Gallati, MD, a neurosurgeon at Knoxville-based University of Tennessee Medical Center, said in the release. “I am able to accurately measure the height of the disc space for proper implant selection, before easily inserting and expanding the Leva Interbody Device. The open architecture of the Leva implant and the GraftMag Graft Delivery System enable the complete, rapid and easy grafting of both the expandable titanium cage and the entire prepared disc space.”
