Three things to know:

1. Niagara aims to improve surgeon control through precision, visibility and flexibility.

2. The system is intended for all forms of lateral lumbar fusion.

3. Niagara features PEEK-infused carbon fiber with integrated illumination to improve visibility during surgery. This can reduce the number of X-rays required to confirm implant location and placement.
