X360™
X360 is a comprehensive approach to lateral single-position surgery that leverages advanced techniques and technologies to deliver patient specific-care while enhancing OR workflow and efficiency.
X360 is a comprehensive approach to lateral single-position surgery that leverages advanced techniques and technologies to deliver patient specific-care while enhancing OR workflow and efficiency.
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 lateral throughout the entire surgery.
XALIF has all the characteristics of a traditional supine ALIF and is specifically designed to access L5-S1, but 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.
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 O.R., and shortened hospital stays as compared to traditional posterior fusion procedures.6
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.
