Globus Medical has announced the launch of a new anterior lumbar interbody fusion device, according to a company press release.

The device, called Monument, includes a built-in mechanical feature designed to aid in spondylolisthesis reduction.

“Monument, with its threaded translational reduction feature, is designed to be more efficient for the surgeon by incorporating mechanized implant reduction with an integrated plate-spacer. Alternative procedures require additional steps in treating this challenging condition,” Andrew Iott, senior vice president of product development for Globus Medical, said in the press release. “Our new system includes all the benefits typical of an anterior lumbar interbody spacer with a large stabilizing surface area and large graft window to optimize fusion.”

The product is intended for use with supplemental fixation, according to the press release. Additionally, the spacer is available in different sizes, heights and sagittal angles to accommodate the lumbar and sacral spine, including L5-S1.
