Axial Lumbar Interbody Fusion System
 TranS1 has pioneered a revolutionary approach to access the lumbar spine. The AxiaLIF®(Axial Lumbar Interbody Fusion) System includes surgical instruments for creating a safe and reproducible pre-sacral access route to the L5-S1 vertebral bodies. The AxiaLIF® technique features instrumentation to enable standard of care fusion principles, distraction and stabilization of the anterior lumbar column while mitigating the soft tissue trauma associated with traditional lumbar fusion through open surgical incisions.
Using AxiaLIF®, the lumbar spine is accessed through an axial channel in the sacrum. This atraumatic tissue plane alleviates the need for the surgeon to cut through soft tissues like muscles and ligaments, thus lessening patient pain and the likelihood of complications. This minimally invasive approach allows patients to be discharged from the hospital the day after surgery, and return to work in as little as 15 days. This is a significant reduction in hospital lengths of stay, which can otherwise run three to four nights, followed by a one-to two-month recovery period before returning to work.
Advantages:
- Safe, reproducible, pre-sacral approach
- Percutaneous access
- Soft-tissue sparing
- No annular disruption
- Patients released from hospital in as little as one day
- Restore disc height to approximate adjacent healthy spinal segments
- Immediate rigid segmental fixation and stability of L5-S1
