X360
X360 is a comprehensive lateral approach to single-position surgery that leverages advanced techniques and technologies to deliver patient-specific care while enhancing OR workflow and efficiency.
The leader in lateral position spine surgery
The X360 system, powered by Surgical Intelligence™, includes XLIF®, XALIF™, and XFixation™. The integration of these procedures into a single system allows for significant time savings through the use of modern, less invasive techniques performed with the patient in the lateral position throughout the entire surgery.
Advanced Materials Science (AMS) interbody technology with X360
Adhering to the three core principles of AMS, surface, structure, and imaging, NuVasive has pioneered design and manufacturing methods that combine the inherent benefits of porosity with the advantageous material properties of PEEK and Ti.
Modulus porous titanium interbody offerings
Modulus ALIF
Modulus ALIF is the latest Modulus addition to our AMS portfolio. The optimized porous Ti lattice structure paired with a variety of low-profile implant inserter options, enables this implant to be utilized for both XALIF and Supine ALIF approaches.
Modulus XLIF
Modulus XLIF is the NuVasive porous TI implant designed for use in the XLIF procedure. It's surface, structure, and imaging characteristics make it a desirable interbody option.
Porous PEEK interbody offerings
Cohere XLIF
Cohere is the first and only lateral Porous PEEK interbody available on the market, desiged to promote bone in-growth1 while maintaining the inherent biomechanical1 and imaging properties of PEEK.
Reduce OR time by up to 60 minutes2 and save nearly $5,000 per patient in hospital costs3,4
Enhance OR workflow and efficiency
Reduce time under anesthesia and lower intraoperative risks5,6
XALIF
XALIF has all the characteristics of a traditional supine ALIF and is specifically designed to access L5-S1, but is performed with the patient in the lateral decubitus position. The versatile retractor system enables access for multiple ALIF approaches and bridges the gap between traditional supine ALIF and the XLIF procedure.
XLIF
In 2003, NuVasive revolutionized spine surgery with XLIF, the only lateral approach spine procedure supported by extensive clinical evidence in more than 400 peer-reviewed, XLIF-specific publications. With hundreds of thousands XLIF surgeries since its inception, the procedure continues to transform patients’ lives through reduced blood loss, less time in the OR, and shortened hospital stays as compared to traditional posterior fusion procedures.8 -15
XFixation
XFixation is an adapted posterior fixation technique with the patient kept in the lateral position. This allows single-position surgery to be achieved from the upper thoracic spine to the sacrum when combined with XLIF and/or XALIF procedural solutions.
