Interbodies
All El Capitan Anterior Lumbar Interbody Spacers are:
- Available in either Acid-etched Ti or HA PEEK
- Four different axial footprint options to accommodate varied patient anatomy
- Large central aperture to pack bone graft to provide a greater opportunity for fusion
- Tapered posterior edge allows for self-distraction of the intervertebral space during insertion, as well as conservation of critical structural anatomy

HA PEEK Overview
- HA is fully integrated, not coated, making it available on all surfaces of the spacer to provide an osteoconductive surface for bone ingrowth
- Pyramidal serrated teeth to resist migration postoperatively
- Radiographic markers provide fluoroscopic visualization of the exact orientation of the spacer during implantation
