Elevation Spine develops the SABER-C cervical fusion system, which features a zero-profile anterior cervical plate and low-profile fixation options for minimally invasive spinal surgery. This technology enables surgeons to perform spinal fusion more efficiently through smaller incisions, improving access to challenging cervical spine levels while reducing recovery time for patients.

Problem
Traditional anterior cervical fusion procedures can be challenging due to limited access to certain cervical spine levels and the need for larger incisions, potentially leading to longer recovery times and increased risk of complications. Existing fusion systems may also present challenges in achieving optimal fixation and stability.
Solution
Elevation Spine's SABER-C is a cervical fusion system designed to streamline anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) procedures. The system features a zero-profile anterior cervical plate, interbody spacer, and fixation elements, all engineered for minimally invasive surgery. The low-profile instrumentation and in-line spike or screw fixation options facilitate access to difficult-to-reach cervical levels through smaller incisions. The zero-profile design minimizes soft tissue irritation and simplifies adjacent segment fusion, while offering versatility in fixation methods to accommodate varying surgical goals and patient anatomies.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes spine surgeons specializing in anterior cervical fusion procedures.
