The Pathway Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF) device is inserted through a single incision and placed lengthwise across the disc space for spinal support and autogenous grafting material containment. The surgeon uses a unilateral posterior transforaminal approach to access the disc space. The benefit of this type of approach is minimal nerve root disturbance. |

| Features and Benefits Pathway TLIF features: » System Flexibility: The 0° implant is 28mm long and is available in a range 1mm incremental heights to better accommodate patient anatomy » Easy to Insert: The bullet shaped nose as well as the tapered profile facilitates ease of insertion into the disc space » Improved Post-Op Visibility: Radiolucent PEEK® Optima implant and tantalum markers improve intra-operative visibility » Spinal Support: Convex surface optimizes implant and bone graft contact with adjacent anatomy » Migration Resistance: Unidirectional teeth resist implant migration » Promotes Bone Growth: Dual implant reservoirs accommodate bone graft to facilitate in-growth between bone graft and adjacent tissue » Improved Implantation Control: The non-threaded interface between the implant and instrument secures the implant to the inserter to prevent cross threading and minimize implant breakage while providing the surgeon with enhanced implant control Indications for Use: Pathway TLIF (transforaminal interbody fusion) device is intended for spinal fusion procedures at one or two contiguous levels (L2-S1) in skeletally mature patients with the following conditions:
