Accelus announced the first spinal surgeries with the FlareHawk® TiHawk11™ Interbody Fusion System (TiHawk11). TiHawk11 is designed to provide a minimal insertion profile with maximum interbody expansion to increase stability and the likelihood of fusion.
TiHawk11 is part of Accelus’s flagship FlareHawk Interbody Fusion System and features an 11mm-wide insertion profile that expands to 17mm in width and up to 14mm in height within the disc space. This provides surgeons with a 70% increase in footprint as compared to a 10mm-wide interbody device of identical length and allows for two 17mm-wide TiHawk implants to be implanted via a posterior approach to create a 34mm-wide footprint within the disc space.
TiHawk11 leverages features of FlareHawk, now bonded with titanium. TiHawk’s titanium surface technology provides a 0.5 micron-thick layer of commercially pure titanium bonded onto the PEEK through a proprietary process called ion beam assisted deposition. This thin layer of titanium does not alter the favorable properties found with PEEK implants, nor does it generate a ghost artifact under fluoroscopic imaging as is common with all-titanium implants, allowing ease of radiographic visualization for TiHawk11 implant placement and fusion assessment.
