Orthopedic Spinal Fixation Vertebral Hook Medical Instrument

Introduction:

The intervertebral fusion cage is a large, hollow cylinder made of some type of metal, usually titanium. It is designed as a "cage" so that bone graft can be placed inside the hollow cylinder to allow a spinal fusion to occur between two vertebrae. The holes throughout the cage allow bone to form around and through the cage connecting the two vertebrae with solid bone.

Many newer types of intervertebral fusion cages are designed for both open incision and laparoscopic procedures. The laparoscopic approach uses smaller incisions and a camera, which can be less damaging to normal tissue and speed recovery, though it may not be suitable for all cases.

The cage serves to spread the vertebrae apart, enlarging nerve root openings and tightening surrounding ligaments. This decreases segmental instability and mechanical pain. It also holds the vertebrae in the correct position until fusion occurs.

5.5/6.0 screw-rod system for spinal internal fixation, available in double/single thread. Mature implant system with options for sterile or non-sterile packaging.
