WaveForm
SeaSpine’s WaveForm™ 3D-printed interbody system is composed of a proprietary, continuous wave-like structure, known as a gyroid, that is designed to improve graft packability and retention,1 optimize stiffness,2, 3 and enhance imaging characteristics.4 Unlike other interbodies that employ a strut-based design (e.g., diamond, truss, micropore, etc.), WaveForm’s sheet-based gyroid structure uniquely balances strength, porosity, and stiffness by having no points of intersecting metal that lead to stress concentrations under compressive loading.2, 3 In vivo data indicates this structure allows for bone through growth.5 Additionally, an osteoinductive environment is created within the interbody space when coupled with OsteoStrand™ Plus,6 providing a procedural solution that is engineered to participate in the fusion process.
