The TM-S system is constructed from the company’s Trabecular Metal technology, a porous metal biomaterial with structural and mechanical properties similar to cancellous bone. The material also serves as an osteoconductive scaffold to support bony in-growth and vascularization into the implant.

The TM-S system is intended for use with supplemental fixation systems and with autogenous bone graft. It was designed for patients with degenerative disc disease with or without radicular symptoms at one level from C2-T1.
