ZEK Anterior thoracolumbar corpectomy cage

Overview

ZEK is an expandable corpectomy cage for anterior thoracolumbar vertebral body replacement. A mobile head is intended to adapt to lordotic or kyphotic endplate profiles, and a central threaded mechanism lengthens the cage in situ in a continuous way. It is placed with a dedicated corpectomy holder that also drives the distraction.

Design rationale

Mobile head

The head moves so that it can adapt to a lordotic or kyphotic endplate profile. The aim is complete surface contact and an even distribution of load. The head tilts in flexion and extension.

Central threaded expansion

A central threaded mechanism lengthens the cage in situ, and the height can be set continuously rather than in fixed steps. The holder engages rotation holes in the centre piece, and turning the end of the instrument distracts.

Pre-assembled locking screw

A locking screw is already assembled in the cage and is engaged after distraction to lock the mechanism.

Teeth at the extremities

Teeth at both ends are designed to hold the cage against the adjacent vertebral endplates and resist displacement.
