FAQs
The porous or mesh architecture creates space for bone to grow through or around the implant rather than relying only on the device as a permanent support. As new bone develops, it can connect the treated segment and contribute to fusion. This design therefore combines immediate structural reinforcement with a pathway for biological healing.
Titanium provides the mechanical strength needed to support a reconstructed skeletal space while healing occurs. Its biocompatibility also makes it suitable for long-term placement in the body. Together, these characteristics allow the cage to maintain reconstruction during bone growth and remain part of a durable surgical solution.
After disc removal, placing the cage within the prepared space helps re-establish the separation between adjacent vertebrae. Restoring disc-space height can support spinal realignment, while the implant stabilizes the treated segment. These mechanical effects create a more suitable setting for bone to grow around or through the cage and produce fusion.
Bone graft or a graft substitute fills the cage and supports the healing environment around the implant. The material works alongside the cage’s porous or mesh structure, providing a location that supports new bone formation. Its use is intended to help the reconstructed segment progress from initial stabilization toward a solid fusion.
In the spinal setting, the surgeon first removes the damaged disc and prepares the space between the vertebrae. A titanium cage, often containing bone graft or a graft substitute, is then inserted into that space. The implant restores height and helps stabilize the segment while bone develops through or around it.
Clinical uses include spinal instability, degenerative disc disease, fractures, deformity, and selected tumor-related skeletal defects. The cage addresses the structural problem by supporting the affected space and enabling reconstruction. Its application therefore extends beyond routine disc degeneration to situations in which disease or injury has compromised spinal stability or anatomy.
