An innovation-driven medical device company, SpineEX, Inc., offers spinal implants that are fully expandable and have in situ lordotic adjustment capabilities. In March 2019, SpineEX, Inc., announced that it had launched its next generation Sagittae Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion device on the commercial market. 

At the same time, SpineEX announced completion of the first spinal fusion surgery with the Sagittae cage implanted in a patient at Archibald Surgery Center. The procedure was undertaken by Dr. Ali H. Mesiwala, a researcher and board certified neurosurgeon who focuses on developing minimally invasive and endoscopic techniques for spinal and cranial surgery.

Expandable and adjustable, the “one-size-fits-all” Sagittae cage implant received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in late 2018. It is characterized as offering the potential of boosting quality, safety, and efficiency among those who undergo lumbar fusion procedures. 

As described by Dr. Mesiwala, the Sagittae cage is particularly suited for specialty clinics that focus on spine disorders and are in search of the latest technologies to optimize surgical outcomes.

SpineEX's Sagittae Expandable Lateral Lumbar Fusion Device

Based in Fremont, California, SpineEX, Inc. is a leading medical device company that provides technological solutions related to spinal fusion treatments. Innovative SpineEX, Inc., products include the popular Sagittae expandable lateral lumbar fusion device.

The Sagittae expandable lateral lumbar fusion device has been carefully designed to allow surgeons to make incremental adjustments to both the height and lordosis of a disc intra-operatively. More specifically, the device helps surgeons isolate exact lumbar segments and make the necessary adjustments needed for optimal sagittal balance throughout the entire region. In addition to the benefits of complete anatomical personalization, additional advantages of the device include the ability to maintain spinal strength to open interior spaces that allow for straightforward post-expansion bone graft injections.

In short, the Sagittae expandable lateral lumbar fusion device supports surgeons in fully restoring disc height and achieving the perfect degree of lordosis intra-operatively, thereby reducing the amount of devices and instruments present in the operating room, as well as minimizing the time required to complete the procedure.
