The STALIF M is an Integrated Interbody fusion platform that offers a surgical treatment proven to restore spinal balance, recreate spinal alignment and stability, and accelerate the return to normal activities.
Centinel Spine was the first company in the world to offer Integrated Interbody (a.k.a. Stand-Alone) fusion devices, and has a long clinical history in providing fusion solutions that conform to patient anatomy and capitalize on the body’s ability to heal itself.

RESUMING ACTIVITIES OF DAILY LIVING
Degenerative disc disease can be very painful, and recovery from spinal surgery can take time. Special care has been taken to design STALIF devices to minimize the recovery associated with the procedure. STALIF devices are implanted from the front (anterior) of the body, going in through either the abdomen (ALIF), side (LLIF), or throat (ACDF), so stabilizing spinal muscles and bony elements are not disturbed. Studies have shown that compared to more invasive fusion procedures that approach the spine by going in through the back (posterior), patients who receive fusions from anterior approaches have shorter hospital stays (1-3 days vs. 3-6 days), mobilize more quickly (many patients are walking the same day they have surgery), and lose much less blood during the procedure.
