SynFix-LR is a stand-alone device for the fusion of the lumbar spine. The implant is inserted and fixated from anterior – an additional posterior approach is therefore not necessary. Posterior muscular structures are preserved and surgical morbidity associated with 360° is eliminated.

Key Features & Benefits

–	Diverging locking screws penetrate the vertebral body close to the anterior rim offering stability comparable to a cage with pedicle screw fixation.
–	The zero anterior implant profile minimizes the risk of vessel injury.
–	One single surgical approach reduces patient morbidity, surgery time and costs.
–	Using the same approach as for disc prosthesis, SynFix-LR serves as a backup system if the mobilization of the segment is not possible.

Indications

Lumbar and lumbosacral pathologies which may require anterior segmental arthrodesis, including

• Localized symptomatic degenerative disc disease
• Revision surgery for failed decompression syndrome
• Pseudoarthrosis
