Iliac Crest Bone Graft Harvesting System
ICBGH
TranS1’s Iliac Crest Bone Graft Harvesting (ICBGH) System was developed to aid surgeons in harvesting iliac crest autograft via a minimally invasive approach.
Fusion success is dependent on a proper disc preparation technique, including a thorough discectomy with removal of the cartilaginous endplate and nuclear material. Use of autograft, which is osteogenic, osteoinductive and osteoconductive, further improves the chances of fusion success.
Gold Standard
Bone graft obtained from the iliac crest is a natural source of osteogenic, osteoconductive and osteoinductive agents. Because it is harvested from the patient, it eliminates risk of disease transmission. It provides structural support as well as scaffolding for new bone growth.
Cost Effective
Bone harvested from the iliac crest provides not only ideal biology, but presents an opportunity for significant cost savings when compared to synthetic bone graft substitutes. The TranS1 ICBGH System is a complete system, containing one each of the following: Tissue Dilator Sheath, pyramidal Tissue Dilator Shaft, 8mm Trephine Saw, and Trephine Plunger.
Minimally Invasive
The ICBGH is delivered to the crest via a 1cm skin incision. Additional passes can be made by adjusting the angle of entry while utilizing the same incision.
Indications for use: TranS1 AxiaLIF System is intended to provide anterior stabilization of the L5-S1 or L4-S1 spinal segment (s) as an adjunct to spinal fusion. The System is indicated for patients requiring fusion to treat pseudoarthrosis (unsuccessful previous fusion), spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis (Grade 1 or 2 if single-level; Grade 1 if two-level), or degenerative disc disease as defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. Its usage is limited to anterior supplemental fixation of the lumbar spine at L5-S1 or L4-S1 in conjunction with use of legally marketed posterior fixation such as facet screw or pedicle screw systems at the same levels that are treated with system.
