Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF) is a surgical technique used to treat spinal conditions such as degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, and spondylolisthesis. The TLIF procedure involves removing the damaged disc material and replacing it with a spacer made of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) material, which helps restore the height of the disc space and improve spinal alignment.
The CanPEEK-T system is a type of implant used in the TLIF procedure. It consists of a PEEK spacer that is placed between the vertebrae to help stabilize the spine and promote fusion between the adjacent vertebrae. The CanPEEK-T system is designed to provide optimal support and stability to the spine while reducing the risk of implant failure and minimizing surgical trauma to the surrounding tissues.
One of the key advantages of the TLIF PEEK-T system is its ability to be inserted through a small incision in the back, which allows for a minimally invasive surgical approach. This reduces the amount of tissue damage and blood loss during the surgery, resulting in a quicker recovery time for the patient. Additionally, the PEEK material used in the implant is biocompatible and has been shown to have excellent fusion rates, which is important for the long-term success of the surgery.
