The FlareHawk Interbody Fusion System is a family of lumbar interbody fusion devices (IBFDs) that include FlareHawk7, FlareHawk9, FlareHawk11, TiHawk7, TiHawk9, and TiHawk11. These IBFDs offer a new line of multi-planar expandable interbody devices designed to provide mechanical stability, promote arthrodesis, and allow for restoration of disc height and lordosis through a minimal insertion profile during standard open and minimally invasive posterior lumbar fusion procedures. The two-piece interbody cage design consists of a PEEK outer shell that expands in width, height, and lordosis with the insertion of a titanium shim. Once expanded, the open architecture design allows for ample graft delivery into the disc space.
The design and unique features of the FlareHawk family of expandable fusion cages are described. The indications for their use are discussed. Early clinical and radiographic outcome studies using the FlareHawk Interbody Fusion System are reviewed, and properties of competitor products are outlined.
The FlareHawk multi-planar expandable interbody fusion cage is unique amongst the many lumbar fusion cages currently on the market. The multi-planar expansion, open architecture, and adaptive geometry set it apart from its competitors.
FlareHawk 椎间融合系统是一系列腰椎椎间融合装置（IBFD），包括 FlareHawk7、FlareHawk9、FlareHawk11、TiHawk7、TiHawk9 和 TiHawk11。这些 IBFD 提供了一系列新的多平面可扩张椎间设备，旨在通过标准的开放和微创后路腰椎融合手术中的最小插入轮廓提供机械稳定性、促进融合，并通过恢复椎间盘高度和前凸角来实现。两件式椎间笼设计由 PEEK 外壳组成，通过插入钛垫片来扩展宽度、高度和前凸角。一旦扩张，开放式结构设计允许大量移植物输送到椎间盘空间。
描述了 FlareHawk 可扩张融合笼系列的设计和独特特点。讨论了它们的使用适应症。回顾了使用 FlareHawk 椎间融合系统的早期临床和放射学结果研究，并概述了竞品产品的特点。
FlareHawk 多平面可扩张椎间融合笼在目前市场上众多腰椎融合笼中独具特色。多平面扩张、开放式结构和自适应几何形状使其有别于竞争对手。
