SeaSpine Begins Limited Rollout of WaveForm A (ALIF) 3D-Printed Interbody

SeaSpine Holdings Corporation began limited commercial launch of its 3D-printed WaveForm A (ALIF) Interbody System. 
 
WaveForm A is designed for the ALIF (Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion) procedure, and seamlessly integrates with the entire Meridian anterior interbody portfolio. WaveForm A delivers a fully porous interbody solution with a graft aperture designed to accommodate a large amount of SeaSpine’s best-in-class allograft demineralized bone matrix offerings OsteoStrand and OsteoStrand Plus.
 
“The WaveForm A is an innovative new technology from SeaSpine that I am very excited about,” said Dr. Daniel Barba, Orthopedic surgeon at Palomar Medical Center in Escondido, CA. “It incorporates a novel 3D (DMTRF) printed technology with optimal pore size for fusion. This system is also unique because of its modular design, which affords me the opportunity to make individualized fusion constructs for my patients.”
 
The WaveForm A interbody offers the next level of 3D-printed architectural innovation, balancing key geometric and manufacturing advancements without compromising clinical requirements. WaveForm A utilizes innovative WaveForm technology to deliver a highly porous and robust interbody solution. This design is intended to balance subsidence resistance, implant stiffness, and orthobiologics packability, while maintaining radiographic visualization during intraoperative and postoperative imaging.
 
“WaveForm A is our fifth entry into the 3D-printed interbody space,” said Troy Woolley, VP of marketing, Spinal Implants. “This system has a zero-step locking for all three integrated screws and a large internal hollow core designed to allow surgeons to place a large amount of orthobiologics material into the core and help facilitate bony fusion. We are excited to continue building out our WaveForm portfolio with this latest addition.”
