Abstract

Introduction: 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.

Areas covered: 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.

Expert opinion: 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椎间融合系统的设备外形，这是一种符合终板的多平面可伸缩腰椎椎间融合器。

简介:FlareHawk椎体间融合系统是一个腰椎椎体间融合装置(ibfd)家族，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展椎间装置，旨在提供机械稳定性，促进关节融合术，并允许在标准开放和微创后路腰椎融合手术中通过最小的插入轮廓恢复椎间盘高度和前凸。两件式体间笼设计由PEEK外壳组成，该外壳在宽度、高度和前凸上扩展，并插入钛垫片。一旦扩展，开放式结构设计允许大量移植物进入椎间盘空间。涵盖领域:描述了FlareHawk系列可扩展融合笼的设计和独特功能。讨论了它们的使用适应症。本文回顾了使用FlareHawk椎体间融合系统的早期临床和放射学结果研究，并概述了竞争产品的特性。专家意见:FlareHawk多平面可扩展椎体间融合器是目前市场上众多腰椎融合器中独一无二的。多平面扩展、开放式架构和自适应几何结构使其与竞争对手区别开来。

期刊介绍： The journal serves the device research community by providing a comprehensive body of high-quality information from leading experts, all subject to rigorous peer review. The Expert Review format is specially structured to optimize the value of the information to reader. Comprehensive coverage by each author in a key area of research or clinical practice is augmented by the following sections: Expert commentary - a personal view on the most effective or promising strategies Five-year view - a clear perspective of future prospects within a realistic timescale Key issues - an executive summary cutting to the author''s most critical points In addition to the Review program, each issue also features Medical Device Profiles - objective assessments of specific devices in development or clinical use to help inform clinical practice. There are also Perspectives - overviews highlighting areas of current debate and controversy, together with reports from the conference scene and invited Editorials.
