PL-AGE System, is a stand-alone device intended for use in anterior cervical spinal fusion procedures at one level from C3-C7. The PL-AGE offers an integrated plate cage design featuring a one-piece titanium housing for strength, slotted screw holes for translational functionality and a textured surface that promotes fusion. The PL AGE is available in a comprehensive size range with a wide selection of instrumentation for intra-operative flexibility.
Features:
- Designed for Surgical Efficiency: The PL-AGE implant has an all-in-one implant design that combines low-profile tabs with a titanium cage for ease in insertion and multiple insertion options to accommodate intra-operative flexibility and surgeon preference. The slotted screw hole design of the PL-AGE implant allows for various screw placement positions for both semi-constrained and translational functionality and cranial/caudal and medial/lateral screw angulations. The design allows for quick placement and locking of the bone screw with a visual and tactile locking verification.
- Osteogenic Environment: The PL-AGE implant has a textured surface that provides immediate mechanical fixation and reduces the opportunity for implant migration. The PL-AGE implant promotes natural BMP release induced via direct bone contact with the roughened titanium surface.The PL-AGE features a large graft window for packing autogenous bone and the dynamic construct capabilities provides a means for continuous graft loading as well as up to 3 mm of settling via the slotted screw holes.
- Comprehensive Size Range: The PL-AGE Anterior Cervical Fusion System is available in a comprehensive size range with multiple implant footprints to accommodate varying patient anatomy. Self-drilling/self-tapping and self-tapping screws are available in two sizes and four lengths.
