BAK® Anterior
Provides exceptional stability by tensioning the annulus with distraction
plugs and positioning the implant within the disc space to support the
primary loading forces of the spine.
Larger hole designs make the
implant less susceptible to fibrous tissue encapsulation, encouraging bony
growth through and around the implants for long-term stability.
Integrated internal ribbing enhances implant fatique insuring long-term
structural integrity.
Square threads increase resistance to shear
forces, reduce localized stress concentrations and provide a "press-fit" in
the vertebrae to enhance segmental stability and improve bone remodeling.
BAK® instrumentation provides multiple methods of
both laparoscopic and open implant placement allowing the procedure to be
tailored to the surgeon's or patient's specific needs.
With Proven Clinical Performance
A six year clinical study has shown the following results with the BAK ® anterior approach (ALIF):
- A high fusion rate is realized by one year and continues to increase over time
- Significant pain relief is achieved quickly and improves over time
- Rapid functional recovery leading to fast rehabilitation and exceptional return to work performance
- A low re-operation rate which has resulted from a predictable, definitive surgical procedure
- A procedure which can indirectly decompress the neural elements, frequently eliminating the need for posterior decompression
