Conform Sheet Conform Sheet, new from DePuy Synthes, is designed for the fi lling of bone voids and posterolateral gutters. Made from 100 percent demineralized cancellous bone, Conform Sheet is pli- able and absorbs sterile solutions and biological fluids in conjunction with surgical applications. Conform Sheet is available prehydrated and comes in Q-Pack technology. Q-Pack maintains hydration by using an ambient temperature packaging method. This eliminates the need for a rehydration step before use. The use of Conform Sheet provides a foundation for ingrowth, attachment and proliferation of cells.

ALIF ACR In conjunction with its recent U.S. launch of Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion — Anterior Column Realignment (ALIF ACR), NuVasive, Inc. has developed hyperlordotic implants for enhanced correction of sagittal plane deformity. The ALIF ACR procedure targets sagit- tal plane imbalance caused by advanced degeneration. Four-fi fths of sagittal balance exists between L4 and S1, NuVasive notes, and that is the area where ALIF ACR seeks to improve alignment — with a less invasive approach than traditional techniques. Implants ordinarily used in an ALIF procedure provide only 8–15 degrees of lordosis. The ALIF ACR implants increase that to 20 degrees and 30 degrees. That larger footprint may enhance sagittal balance restoration capabilities.
