K2M launched the Mojave PL 3D Expandable Interbody System in the U.S.
Here are four things to know.
1. The Mojave PL 3D Expandable Interbody System received FDA 510(k) clearance in June 2017.
2. It is designed with K2M's Lamellar 3D Titanium Technology, incorporating a porous structure along with rough surfaces to enable bony integration throughout the endplates.
3. The Mojave endplates are grown starting with a titanium powder through the selective application of a high-energy laser beam, incorporating complex internal geometries and a rough surface architecture.
4. The first-of-its-kind fusion device is intended to allow surgeons to independently control anterior and posterior heights in the lumbar spine. The implant features infinite adjustment within the expansion range and may be locked at any height and lordosis to help restore sagittal balance.
