PROSPACE® Titanium
Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion System made of Titanium with PLASMAPORE® coating
The PROSPACE® implant is a solid titanium block used for stabilization of the lumbar and thoracic spine through a posterior approach, monosegmental or multisegmental. The implant is mantled with the proven PLASMAPORE® coating to increase the contact area between implant and endplate and to expedite a solid osteointegration. PROSPACE® stands for primary stability, restoration of the natural lumbar lordosis and long-term maintenance of the spinal balance. Combined with reliable and easy to use instrumentation PROSPACE® is the solution for a successful thoracolumbar interbody fusion.
