Surgalign Releases Fortilink with TiPlus Interbodies

Surgalign has launched its new family of interbody fusion devices featuring its proprietary TiPlus technology.
 
The new implants include Fortilink-A with TiPlus for anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF), Fortilink-TC and –TS for posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF/TLIF), and Fortilink-C with TiPlus for anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF).
 
The 3D-printed titanium (Ti) alloy interbodies are porous and feature an interconnected architecture and acid-etched nano-surface. The implants are available in a wide range of footprints and hyperlordotic offerings.
 
The implants were designed with direct input from leading medical practitioners to incorporate attributes surgeons want in a titanium interbody fusion device. The system also has streamlined instrumentation and wide variety of implant sizes.
 
“TiPlus is a great new offering that significantly bolsters the interbody solutions I can offer to my patients, based on their specific clinical need,” Dr. Jon White, an orthopedic spine surgeon at Hoag Orthopedic Institute told the press. “The acid-etched surface and optimized pore size allows for both bone ongrowth and ingrowth, providing confidence in achieving favorable patient outcomes.”
 
Dr. Aaron Creek, a spine surgeon at The Neck and Back Institute of Florida, added, “The expansion of the Fortilink system to include a 3D-printed titanium implant, in addition to the existing TETRAfuse 3D-printed polymer option, is a unique and efficient solution. Utilizing the well-designed Fortilink instrumentation—but with two implant offerings in different biomaterials—allows me to better customize the treatment of my patients.”
