The PATHWAY Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (PLIF) device and Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF) device were designed as a replacement implant for a degenerative, damaged, unstable or collapsed disc.
 

The PATHWAY design features include:

• Range of heights to accommodate patient anatomy
• Bullet shaped nose for ease of insertion
• Dual implant reservoirs promote in-growth between bone graft and adjacent tissue
• Embedded titanium markers provide intra-operative identification and positioning
  
• Unidirectional teeth aids to resist implant migration
• Precisely machined slots to ensure a secure fit between implant and instrument
• PLIF implants are available in 0° and 6° sizes allowing for a parallel or lordotic configuration to meet the patient’s anatomical needs
• Non-threaded design between implant and instrument interface prevents cross threading and minimizes implant breakage
