The Met One Technologies Kodiak Lumbar Spacer System is a lumbar intervertebral body fusion device that is implanted into the vertebral body space to improve stability of the spine while supporting fusion. The Kodiak Lumbar Spacer System may be implanted bilaterally using a posterior (PLIF) approach, or as a single device employing a transformational (TLIF) approach. The implants have a central endplate window to permit packing of autograft and/or allograft bone, teeth on the superior and inferior surfaces, and lateral windows for radiographic visualization. The implants are additively manufactured from Ti-6Al-4V ELI and are available in a variety of heights, footprints, and lordotic configurations to suit individual patient anatomy.
A device intended to be implanted into the space of an intervertebral disc that has been partially or totally removed during surgery in order to allow bone fusion between two contiguous vertebral bodies, typically in the treatment of degenerative disc disease (DDD). It is in the form of a hollow, porous, threaded and/or fenestrated cylindrical or geometrical device made of metal [e.g., titanium (Ti)] that provides mechanical stability and sufficient space for therapeutic spinal bone fusion to occur; bone graft is typically used to help with osseointegration. Fixation screws and devices associated with implantation may be included with the device.
