WaveForm
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 throughgrowth.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.
