WILMINGTON, N.C., Jul 27, 2010 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) -- TranS1 Inc. (TSON 2.43, +0.11, +4.74%), a pioneer in novel approaches to lumbar spine surgery, today announced the launch of the AxiaLIF(R) 2L+(TM)product line, an instrumentation and implant system for L4-S1 lumbar fusion.

The AxiaLIF 2L+ system represents the next generation of the original AxiaLIF 2L system first launched in 2008. Since receiving FDA 510(k) clearance in January, 2010, AxiaLIF 2L+ has been available under a limited market release. It will now be made available to trained surgeons throughout the U.S.

"Our new AxiaLIF 2L+ system further demonstrates TranS1's commitment to continuously advancing our proprietary AxiaLIF core technology. The L4-S1 region of the spine accounts for approximately 40% of all lumbar fusions yet existing surgical techniques are highly invasive for patients," stated Ken Reali, TranS1's President and COO. "Due to our unique access route to the spine, the AxiaLIF 2L+ is a less invasive procedure for patients. Further, our implant allows a surgeon to provide controlled distraction during the operation to precisely restore lost disc height."
