AUDUBON, PA — Globus Medical, Inc. (NYSE: GMED) has launched the ADIRA™ XLIF™ Plate System, marking a significant step in lateral spine surgery. This new product is the first to be compatible across Globus Medical’s expanded lateral interbody portfolio, offering improved stability and versatility for surgical procedures.
David Hole, President of Spine at Globus Medical, emphasized the importance of this launch. “This launch represents an important milestone in our integration roadmap,” he said. “Through the system’s ability to be paired with our industry-leading Globus and NuVasive interbody spacers, ADIRA™ demonstrates our continued commitment to accelerated procedural innovation in lateral spine surgery.”
The ADIRA™ XLIF™ Plate System is designed for simplified insertion and a rigid coupling mechanism. This ensures that the plates align confidently over interbody spacers, enhancing construct stability. The system is compatible with both bone screws and lateral MIS anchors, giving surgeons flexible options for bone fixation and interbody spacer types.
Dr. Anthony Bozzio, MD, of Bay Street Orthopaedics & Spine, shared his positive experience with the system. “This system provides both efficiency and confidence in cases that require stand-alone or supplemental lateral plating,” Dr. Bozzio noted. “Whether attaching the plate in situ or on the back table for static single-construct insertion, the system provides me with streamlined, rigid plate-interbody connection.”
The ADIRA™ system is integrated throughout the Globus Medical lateral portfolio. It works with a range of interbody spacers, including RISE-L™, Modulus™ XLIF™, Hedron L™, Cohere™ XLIF™, TransContinental™, and CoRoent™ XLIF™. This compatibility helps reduce the risk of spacer migration and accommodates varied patient anatomy and surgeon preferences.
ADIRA™ plates can be assembled with lateral lumbar interbody fusion devices to create plate-spacer assemblies. These assemblies provide structural stability in skeletally mature individuals following discectomy. The system’s versatility allows it to be used with both bone screws and lateral anchors for enhanced procedural options.
The ADIRA™ 2-Hole and 4-Hole Plates are intended for use in treating thoracolumbar spinal instability resulting from conditions such as fractures, tumors, degenerative disc disease (DDD), scoliosis, kyphosis, lordosis, spinal stenosis, and failed previous surgeries. The 1-Hole Plate is used to stabilize grafts at one level, aiding in spinal fusion and providing temporary stabilization.
When assembled with specific spacers, the ADIRA™ Plate-Spacer assembly can be used at one or more levels of the lumbosacral spine. It is indicated for conditions like DDD, disc herniation, spondylolisthesis, deformity, spinal stenosis, and failed previous fusion. These devices must be used with supplemental fixation and are to be filled with bone graft material.
The launch of the ADIRA™ XLIF™ Plate System highlights Globus Medical’s dedication to advancing spine surgery through innovation and improved procedural outcomes. This system offers surgeons a reliable and versatile tool for achieving better patient results in lateral spine surgery.
