InterFuse Tail Traction Tool, Part Number 9116. The InterFuse Tail Traction Tool is an optional Class I non-sterile reusable instrument that can be used to assist with module locking of the InterFuse S or InterFuse T implant system. The system has a modular design to allow the device to be assembled within the disc space to minimize the surgical window, while providing a footprint that approximates the excised nucleus.
