AERIAL™ is a minimally invasive expandable spinous process fixation system. With its expandable core and independent locking plates, AERIAL™ offers a customized patient fit and allows for indirect decompression. AERIAL™’s easy insertion and expansion provides a simple MIS solution for interspinous fixation.
- Expandable Core: AERIAL™ is inserted at a minimized starting height and expanded in situ, offering up to 6mm of continuous distraction to help restore neuroforaminal area
- Integrated Lordosis: AERIAL™ is offered in three sagittal profiles to help maintain alignment
- Independent Locking Plates: Each plate separately engages with each spinous process to fit individualized patient anatomy
Lordosis Angle and Indirect Foraminal Decompression Following Interspinous Process Fixation with an Expandable Device
A Cadaveric Radiographic Analysis
The AERIAL™ expandable interspinous fixation spacer, when used in conjunction with a lateral spacer and lateral plate, achieved substantial neuroforaminal decompression without compromising lordosis.
