Guide Hex Rod. The Integra Expandable IBD System consists of lumbar interbody fusion devices manufactured from PEEK-OPTIMA® LT1 (ASYM F2026), titanium (Ti-6AI-4V ELI per ASTM F136) and cobalt chromium (Co-28Cr-6Mo per ASTM F1537) materials, with radiopaque tantalum markers (ASTM F560). These implants are generally box shaped with surface teeth and a central channel to be filled with autogenous bone graft.
A hand-held manual surgical instrument designed to connect to and hold an orthopaedic implant (e.g., bone screw, bone graft), trial implant, or sizer (e.g., glenoid defect sizer) to facilitate guidance, gauging/sizing, and/or monitoring of the held device during an orthopaedic surgical intervention. The instrument is typically made of high-grade stainless steel or synthetic polymer materials and is typically constructed in the form of a long shaft with a handle at the proximal end and a device holding/fixation mechanism at the distal end (e.g., a threaded portion or a clamp mechanism). This is a reusable device.
