The Oracle spacer system is a comprehensive set of instruments and implants designed to support a direct lateral approach to the lumbar spine.  The direct lateral approach is a minimally invasive approach that avoids the anterior vessels and posterior nervous and bony structures.

Key Features & Benefits

• Retractor provides direct minimal access to operative level
• Bayoneted discectomy instruments ensure maximum visibility while supporting a minimal exposure
• Lateral quick inserter distractor provides distraction of the space, insertion of the implant and ejection of instrument in one simple procedure
• PEEK & Allograft implant offering for surgeon and  patient preferences

Indications

The Oracle Spacer is indicated for use in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2 to S1 whose condition requires the use of interbody fusion combined with supplemental fixation.  The interior of the Oracle Spacer should be packed with autogenous bone graft (i.e. autograft).

DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies.  These patients should be skeletally mature and have had six months of non-operative treatment.

*The Oracle spacer is intended to be used with Synthes supplemental fixation, e.g. TSLP, ATB, Antegra, Pangea, USS (including Click’X) and Small Stature USS.
