Design rationale

Trabecular lattice

The cage is 3D printed by selective laser melting in titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI). The interconnected open pores are designed to approximate the architecture of cancellous bone. The porous structure covers the top and bottom faces and surrounds the whole graft window.

Open matrix for graft

The open matrix gives the cage an internal volume for graft. It is intended for endoscopic and minimally invasive fusion, where the amount of autograft that can be harvested is limited.

Wedge nose and serrations

A smooth wedge nose reduces insertion resistance and is intended to allow atraumatic delivery into the prepared intervertebral space. Solid-tipped serrations on the upper and lower surfaces are angled for bidirectional fixation and to increase the surface area in contact with the endplate.

Rotating TLIF design

The TLIF cage has a mobile titanium head. It is designed to rotate on its rail as the front edge meets the ventral annulus, which allows medialisation in the anterior disc space.

Imaging and load sharing

The open lattice is intended to allow X-ray and CT assessment of the fusion area with limited metal artefact. The titanium structure is designed to share load with the adjacent bone.

Indications

Lumbar and lumbosacral pathologies in which segmental spondylodesis is indicated, for example degenerative disc disease and spinal instabilities
Revision procedures for post-discectomy syndrome
Pseudarthrosis or failed spondylodesis
Degenerative spondylolisthesis
Isthmic spondylolisthesis
