The Dio Cage is a small, cylindrical or round interbody fusion device primarily used as a spacer in the spine, likely in the cervical or smaller lumbar interbody spaces (PLIF/TLIF). Its compact design and small size range (4mm to 10mm height) make it suitable for procedures where minimal access is available or smaller implant sizes are necessary. The serrated or spiked surfaces are designed to grip the vertebral endplates, preventing migration and ensuring primary stability while the bone graft inside the central chamber promotes fusion.
Key features include:
-
Small, Cylindrical/Round Design: Optimized for minimal invasiveness and specific interbody spaces.
-
Serrated Surfaces: Provides excellent grip on the vertebral endplates to resist expulsion.
-
Primary Use: Cervical or Lumbar Interbody Fusion (PLIF/TLIF).
-
Code No.: Identified by Code No. 821.
-
Height Variation: Available in a short range of heights from 4mm to 10mm.
-
Material: Typically made of PEEK or Titanium (implied by the image showing different colors/materials).
