WaveForm L is engineered with a repeating wave-like structure. This design efficiently distributes compressive loads and offers high porosity, thereby maximising stiffness without sacrificing strength.

As WaveForm L has 80% body porosity, it can improve imaging characteristics and enhance graft packability.

Meanwhile, the wave-like structure’s optimised 65% endplate porosity promotes bone ingrowth and ensures early mechanical stability.

Orthofix Global Spine president Kevin Kenny said: “We are dedicated to providing a comprehensive portfolio of innovative, procedurally focused products strategically designed to work together to drive fusion.
