The Cervical Plate with Cage is an innovative, all-in-one interbody fusion device for the cervical spine. It combines the functions of an interbody spacer (cage) and an anterior fixation plate into a single implant. This design simplifies the surgical procedure by eliminating the need for two separate implants (a cage and a separate anterior plate), potentially reducing surgical time and inventory complexity. The cage maintains the proper height and alignment, while the plate provides immediate rigid fixation. The system typically uses two integrated screws.
Key features include:
-
Integrated Design: Combines the cage and anterior plate into one device.
-
Simplified Procedure: Streamlines the surgical technique for Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF).
-
Fixed Dimensions: The integrated plate and cage have a fixed footprint (not specified in image, but implied).
-
Screw Fixation: Secured with two integrated screws that anchor into the adjacent vertebrae.
-
Size Variation (Height): The height of the cage component is available in a range from 6mm to 10mm.
-
Material: Implied Titanium (for the plate/screw) and potentially PEEK or Titanium for the cage body.
