Advancing Fusion Disc Preparation

The SpineJet Fusion System allows surgeons to more quickly, safely and effectively prepare the intervertebral disc space for graft implantation during open or minimally invasive lumbar interbody fusion procedures. This all-in-one tool combines the power of fluidjet technology with unique curette designs that can simultaneously cut and remove hard or soft tissue such as disc nucleus and endplate cartilage, reducing the number of instrument passes by 65%. The fusion devices work in conjunction with many minimally invasive access systems, enabling PLIFs, TLIFs, and XLIF procedures.

SpineJet Fusion instruments accomplish the role of multiple manual instruments by providing nucleus removal, annular thinning, and endplate preparation in an all-in-one instrument that has been specifically designed to meet the needs of increasingly smaller incisions and disc access methods.

Procedure Overview

1. Debulk and evacuate the nucleus pulposus.
2. Thin the annulus.
3. Scrape the cortical layer of the vertebral endplates.

Fewer passes, decreasing the likelihood of infection

With HydroCision we find we use relatively fewer passes, thereby decreasing the likelihood the of infection in the disc space.

I can remove more disc material, faster.

Without a doubt, I can remove more of the disc material and I can do it faster.

Minimal passes into and out of the disc space

With minimal passes into and out of the disc space, The SpineJet XL more effectively removes disc material, optimizing the environment for lumbar interbody fusion.

Mitchell A. Hardenbrook, MD Boston Spine Group

A very useful tool for disc space preparation

The SpineJet product is a very useful tool for disc space preparation, which is really the key to successful fusion.

Stephen I. Ryu, MD Palo Alto Medical Foundation

Single device accomplishes what 3 or 4 instruments do

This single, elegant device accomplishes what it used to take three or four instruments to do, thus empowering us to perform truly MIS fusion procedures that lead to improved clinical outcomes.
