Actipore™ PLFx - PLIF Technique              

Actipore™ PLFx  is the second generation of lumbar interbody fusion devices, providing maximum choice and flexibility during surgery and allowing surgeons to address each spinal pathology individually.

The Actipore™ PLFx  devices are manufactured from a biologically and biomechanically compatible porous nitinol material. Actipore™ has an elasticity almost identical to cancellous bone that results in load sharing.  The isotropic interconnected porous structure of the device promotes rapid tissue ingrowth in conjunction with bone cell survival, negating the requirement for additional bone graft or bone substitute and eliminating associated morbidity. The trapezoid shape of the device offers a large support area - 100% of the device - resisting to subsidence and facilitating bone integration from the vertebral endplates.

The anterior aspect of Actipore™ PLFx  is rounded off to facilitate implant insertion. It also features a central hole on the posterior wall in which the implant holder can be inserted.

Actipore™ PLFx  is provided with different geometry. Superior and inferior parallel surfaces are suitable to achieve uniform disk distraction while a 6 degrees angle is available when lordosis needs to be restored. 

Actipore™ PLFx is designed to be inserted pair-wise via the posterior-anterior axis within the inter-vertebral disc space.

A dedicated, simple set of instruments offers ease of use and procedural efficiency.

Actipore PLFx is a technologically proven solution that allows a safe and efficient treatment for spinal pathologies associated with degenerative disc disease in the lumbar spine.
