The system is designed to permit preservation of a significant portion of the musculature that lies between the skin and the surgical site on the spine while using a portal or mini-open technique.

"SIGNATURE(TM) allows unparalleled control when placing the implant. The radio-opaque targeting elements allow the confirmation of proper positioning every time."
