The Kaju Cage is a fixed interbody fusion device characterized by its oval or cashew-shaped footprint, which is designed to fit anatomically within the disc space of the spine, often used in PLIF (Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion) or TLIF (Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion) procedures. The unique shape maximizes the contact area with the vertebral endplates for load distribution while providing a large central chamber for bone graft material to promote solid fusion. The surface features deep serrations to resist migration and ensure primary stability.
Key features include:
-
Oval/Cashew Footprint: Optimized shape for anatomical fit in the interbody space.
-
Serrated Surfaces: Provides excellent grip on the vertebral endplates to resist expulsion and migration.
-
Primary Use: Lumbar Interbody Fusion (PLIF/TLIF).
-
Code No.: Identified by Code No. 832.
-
Height Variation: Available in a range of heights from 6mm to 12mm.
-
Material: Typically made of PEEK or Titanium (implied by the image).
