coflex-F® - the alternative to pedicle screw fixation as an adjunct to
interbody fusion.
With the introduction of pedicle screws in the 1980s and
cages in the 1990s, lumbar fusion with instrumentation
became a common procedure for treating degenerative
disc disease. Scientific literature demonstrates that many
posterior fixation techniques that utilize pedicle screws
and rods, interspinous graft with ligament or translaminar
screws improve the fusion rates of both stand-alone
intervertebral grafting and stand-alone intervertebral
implants.
The coflex-F® implant is an interlaminar stabilization
device that can be delivered through a minimally invasive
approach. It provides significant segmental stability and
posterior fixation for anterior column fusion.
