Musculoskeletal solutions company Globus Medical has commercially launched the ADIRA XLIF Plate System for enhancing lateral plating in spinal surgeries.

This system is the first to be compatible with the company's comprehensive lateral interbody portfolio.

The ADIRA XLIF Plate System aims to refine lateral plating by providing simplified insertion workflows along with a rigid coupling mechanism.

It is designed to align plates confidently over interbody spacers, thus enhancing the stability of the construct.

The system is compatible with bone screws and lateral MIS anchors, providing procedural versatility for bone fixation options and various interbody spacer types.

Globus Medical Spine president David Hole said: “This launch represents an important milestone in our integration roadmap.

“Through the system’s ability to be paired with our industry-leading Globus and NuVasive interbody spacers, ADIRA demonstrates our continued commitment to accelerated procedural innovation in lateral spine surgery.”

The ADIRA plates are procedurally integrated across the Globus Medical lateral portfolio.

They are engineered to rigidly thread into several interbody spacers, including Modulus XLIF, RISE-L, Hedron L, TransContinental, Cohere XLIF and CoRoent XLIF.

This integration is intended to minimise the spacer migration risk while accommodating diverse patient anatomies and surgeon preferences.

The plates can be assembled with various lateral lumbar interbody fusion devices with an alignment screw.

This creates an ADIRA Plate-Spacer assembly, which provides structural stability in skeletally mature patients following discectomy.

The assembly is used alongside bone screws and/or lateral anchors to achieve the desired surgical outcome.

These Plate-Spacers need to be filled with autograft and/or allogenic bone graft consisting of cancellous or corticocancellous bone.
