Orthofix Medical Global Spine president Kevin Kenny said: “Our Meridian ALIF system integrates the most advanced technologies into our surgical sets, minimising the need for multiple instrument sets during the procedure.

“The WaveForm A interbody is an exciting addition to our portfolio of solutions for ALIF procedures and enables us to provide a more streamlined option so surgeons can do more for their patients.”

The Meridian ALIF system is a modular instrument and implant system that offers diverse fixation options for single and multilevel ALIFs, helping to streamline the ALIF procedure.

It is compatible with both the WaveForm A interbody and the ReefA interbody, which come with NanoMetalenesurface technology and Reef Topography.
