The EXPEDIUM® SFX® Cross Connector System redefines ease-of-use, implant versatility, and construct security. Based on the established technology of the EXPEDIUM® Anterior Spine System, the EXPEDIUM® SFX® Cross Connector System features an advanced top-loading design and unique snap-fit feature that simplify initial placement and tightening procedures.
The system incorporates a broad range of implant options in both fixed and adjustable configurations for an optimal balance between dural clearance and implant profile. The EXPEDIUM® SFX® Cross Connector System was designed to help surgeons address the challenges of difficult pathologies by enabling a fast and secure finish to even the most complex cases.
The benchmark for speed, security, and simplicity is the EXPEDIUM® Spine System.

SFX IMPLANT TYPES
Fixed Lateral Design
•Low profile design tailored for the high thoracic region
•Locking mechanism located lateral to the rods
•5 sizes available (F1 - F5)
Fixed Medial Design
•Increased dural / graft site clearance, while maintaining a low profile, for the thoracic region
•Locking mechanisms located medial to the rods
•4 sizes available (F6 - F9)
Adjustable Lateral Design
•Low profile design tailored for the lower thoracic region
•Locking mechanisms located lateral to the rods
•3 sizes available (A1 - A3)
Adjustable Medial Design
•Increased dural and graft site clearance for the lumbar region
•Locking mechanism located medial to the rods
•4 sizes available (A4 - A7) NOTE: The dural clearance is measured from the bottom of the rod to the bottom of the centre mechanism. The profile is measured from the top of the rod to the highest point on the implant.
IMPLANT DESIGN
Top-Loading
•Simplifies placement as compared to side loading designs.
•Helps avoid impingement of the surrounding anatomy while minimising the amount of bone removal necessary.
Snap-Fit
•Provides audible and tactile feedback when the implant fully engages the rod. •Helps maintain placement during tightening procedures.
Vertical Setscrews
•Provide easy access during tightening procedures.
Integrated Bending Zones
•Simplify intraoperative contouring and profiling.
Insertion Feature
•Provides a secure grip for the Forcep-Style Inserter.
ADJUSTABLE IMPLANTS
Telescoping
•Fast intraoperative adjustment to accommodate a range of different length requirements.
Angulation of +/-20 degrees and rotation of 360 degrees
•Provides versatility to fit non-parallel and non-planar rods.
Center Setscrew
•Locks the adjustable features once desired positioning is achieved.
