Lanx launches lateral fusion system

Lanx Inc. announced the launch of the Timberline MPF Lateral Modular Plate Fixation System, which the company notes is the first modular anchored interbody device for lateral fusion.

According to a company press release, the Timberline MPF System features a modular peek intervertebral spacer and a low-profile titanium plate implant with either a two- or four-screw design. The spacer is available in different widths, heights and lengths. It can be assembled intraoperatively to various plate styles and sizes to ensure customized fit and fixation. The system also includes streamlined instrumentation for assembly and implantation to suit the patient’s anatomy.

“We are excited to bring to market the first modular anchored cage for the lateral approach, expanding the options available to surgeons to achieve optimal fit and stability,” Dan Gladney, chief executive officer of Lanx, stated in the release. “As thought leaders across the country adopt our technology, we will continue to introduce new innovations that support this less invasive fusion technique and help establish Timberline as the most advanced system for lateral interbody fusion.”
