Alphatec Spine introduced the ARC Portal Access System in conjunction with the introduction of the minimally invasive GLIF (Guided Lateral Interbody Fusion) technique during the AANS (American Association of Neurological Surgeons) annual meeting in San Diego, CA.
The revolutionary GLIF technique and ARC Portal Access System is designed to allow surgeons to perform lumbar interbody fusion procedures with the opportunity for less intra-operative blood loss and minimized tissue disruption; while decreasing the recovery time for most patients.
The proprietary ARC Portal Access System and instrumentation has been designed specifically for the GLIF technique, providing lateral access with direct visualization to the intervertebral disc space while allowing the patient to remain in a prone position. When augmented with posterior pedicle fixation, the ARC system eliminates the need to reposition the patient intra-operatively, thereby reducing the overall length of the lateral lumbar fusion procedure and potentially reducing operating room costs.
