JACKSON, Miss., July 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Zavation Medical Products (“Zavation” or the “Company”), an innovative designer and manufacturer of high-quality spinal implants, instruments, MIS procedural kits, and biologics headquartered in Flowood, MS, announced the launch of both the Expandable Anterior Lumbar Plate and the Expandable Lateral Lumbar Plate, plates designed for use in the lumbar spine as supplemental fixation devices.
These expandable plates are the latest additions to Zavation’s portfolio. The Expandable Anterior Lumbar Plate is a low-profile plate design that provides a stable construct with the ability to expand and lock at the required length. This plate also includes a ledge feature which provides guidance to properly position and expand the plate on the vertebral body. The new Z-Span plates outperformed the predicates in regard to standard ASTM mechanical testing.
Dr. Eric Graham, Spine Surgeon at Bienville Orthopaedic Specialists, stated, “This design eliminates the frustration of trying several plates in an effort to best match each patient’s anatomy. This equates to a more efficient surgery.” 
INDICATIONS FOR USE
