The EARP interbody implant supports lumbar fusion after discectomy through a posterolateral approach. It is indicated for skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease at one or two adjacent levels from L2 to S1 after six months of nonoperative treatment.
The implant is made from PEEK Optima LT1 with tantalum markers for radiographic visualization. A hollow center holds bone graft, while features on the upper and lower surfaces resist implant migration. Different footprints and heights accommodate anatomy.
Listed Item
EARP, 14X25X08 0° The EARP Interbody System is intended for intervertebral body fusion in the lumbar spine in skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2 to S1 of the lumbosacral spine. DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These patients should have had six months of non-operative treatment prior to treatment with an intervertebral cage. DDD patients may also have Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at involved levels. The device system must be used with supplemental fixation and autograft to facilitate fusion and is implanted via a posterolateral approach.
Graft and Fixation
The system requires supplemental fixation and autograft to facilitate fusion. Patients may have Grade 1 spondylolisthesis or retrolisthesis at the treated levels. Degenerative disc disease is defined by discogenic back pain with degeneration confirmed by history and radiographic studies.
