AccuLIF PL Tubing Set and AccuLIF TL Tubing Set AccuLIF is an interbody device system that uses hydraulic pressure to expand the implant in-situ. The purpose of the AccuLIF PL Tubing Set (cat#900301) and AccuLIF TL Tubing Set (cat#905103) is to deliver pressurized saline from a syringe to the AccuLIF implant for in-situ expansion. The Tubing Set attaches to the AccuLIF Insertion handle at two district locations: the "junction block" and the "manifold." The PL and TL Tubing Sets are Class 2 instruments not intended to sustain or support life.
