Alif Double Locking Cage A2L is part of a wide range of radiolucent cages equipped with a unique patented locking double blade mechanism, offering a variety of alternatives for the anterior surgery of lumbo-sacral spine.The immediate and secondary stability of the cage is supported by simple rotation of instrument (UNIQUE CONCEPTION) which makes the two titanium blades penetrate into vertebral plates as soon as the instrument is turned.The blades are completely integrated inside the cages.
Advantages:
- Easiest locking mechanism : To lock the cage, just turn the instrument after insertion.
- This mechanism reduces the risk of migration thanks to the titanium blades. This contributes to a high rate of fusion which is the main target of the intervention.
- The initial and secondary stability is supported by the system of double blades as well as the anatomical shape of the cages.
- The X-ray follow-up is easy, thanks to double blade mechanism, used as x-ray marker as well.
- The cage is in PEEK optima LT® : the cage is radiolucent.
- Anatomical shape adapted to physiological curves.
- Wide choice of cages (size and lordosis angle).
- Zero profile to prevent hardware protrude : Cage and locking mechanism and in interbody space. Everything is located into the cage during insertion. Emerging part of blades exceed the cage after locking.Secure mechanism : The whole Locking mechanism is jailed into cages’ central space.
- Large fusion space.
- Large contact area.
- Simplicity of instrumentation and surgical technique.
- Reduced training time
- Reduced operating time and surgical error.
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.
