Globus Medical (NYSE:GMED), a leading musculoskeletal solutions company, today announced the launch of two innovative lateral expandable interbody spacers with integrated screw fixation, ELSA® AL and ELSA®-ATP, the latest additions to Globus’ unmatched expandable solutions. These next generation expandable implants provide an optimized fit for the patient, allowing for restoration of sagittal balance and enhanced structural fixation.

Globus Medical is the market leader in expandable interbody spacers with over 20 expandable implant solutions supported by 15 years of clinical experience. Globus Medical’s full line of expandable products has enabled surgeons to treat over 130,000 levels.
“ELSA® AL is the alternative to RISE®-L for selected cases in which maximizing segmental lordosis is indicated,” said Dr. Paul K. Kim, neurosurgeon at Carolina Neurosurgery & Spine Associates. “In conjunction with the ALL (anterior longitudinal ligament) release technique, ELSA® AL has the potential to provide the most amount of segmental lordosis of any device on the market.”
