BAK® System - Posterior

The BAK® System Couples Innovative Design...

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 implant placement allowing the procedure to be tailored to the surgeon's or patient's specific needs.

BAK Posterior
With Proven Clinical Performance A four year clinical study has shown the following results with the BAK® posterior approach (PLIF):
  • 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 permits decompression of the neural elements through the same incision and with minimal additional dissection.
