Spine Wave Launches Exceed Biplanar Expandable Interbody Device

Spine Wave commenced commercial launch of the Exceed Biplanar Expandable Interbody Device featuring TiCell Nano Advanced Surface Technology.

Exceed provides for Transforaminal (TLIF) and Posterior (PLIF) lumbar interbody fusion with all-titanium construction, biplanar expansion, fast post-expansion grafting and advanced surface technology.

The all-titanium implant features easy to use instruments and a biplanar taper to ease insertion. The implant expands in both cephalad to caudal and medial to lateral planes to maximize endplate to implant surface apposition and provide a wide-open space for grafting and radiographic visibility. The system integrates with Spine Wave’s GraftMag Graft Delivery System for voluminous post-expansion grafting.

The Exceed Biplanar Expandable Interbody Device also features TiCell Nano Advanced Surface Technology, which is Spine Wave’s patented, proprietary advanced surface design. The TiCell Nano surface is produced using both nanosecond and femtosecond lasers to form a hierarchical surface structure. The nanosecond laser produces a roughened, microporous texture intended to enhance implant-to-vertebral endplate fixation, while the femtosecond laser produces sub-micron and nanoscale features designed to replicate the natural geometry within osteoclastic resorption pits.

Laine Mashburn, Executive Vice President of Global Marketing and Business Development, said, “The Exceed Biplanar Expandable Device addresses important clinical needs very well and offers appealing features that are appreciated by spine surgeons. The TiCell Nano Advanced Surface Technology featured on the Exceed® Biplanar Expandable Device is an important and promising platform technology for Spine Wave.”
