Affinity is Aurora Spine’s modern, minimally invasive ALIF interbody fusion system. Manufactured out of PEEK, each cage is precision coated with TiNano®, Aurora Spine’s titanium plasma spray coating. Aurora Spine cages feature a self-distracting nose, as well as teeth on the inferior and superior surfaces to help prevent retropulsion and migration. Graft windows have been designed to maximize the space for bone materials to help promote integration and fusion. Cages are available in various footprints and heights to accommodate variations in patient anatomy.TiNano® is Aurora Spine’s unique Titanium Plasma Spray coating on PEEK Interbody implants. Interbody cages featuring TiNano are designed to have a friction fit. The TiNano coating will add approximately 0.25mm thickness to the overall height of the cage.
About ALIF Cages
Anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) is a spine surgery that involves approaching the spine from the front of the body to remove disc or bone material from in between two adjacent lumbar vertebrae. The disc material is then replaced by cage containing bone graft or bone morphogenetic protein.The ALIF cage maintains normal disc height as the bone graft fuses with the bone of the vertebrae above and below to stabilize the spine.
