ALTA Anterior Cervical Corpectomy Spacer System is a simple and efficient set of instruments and implants that provide the intraoperative flexibility necessary to accommodate the wide array of anatomical challenges consistently encountered when performing a cervical corpectomy.
Features:
- Four different axial footprint options to accommodate varied patient anatomy
- Large central aperture to pack bone graft to provide a greater opportunity for fusion
- Lateral windows to provide additional graft vascularization
- Tapered posterior edge allows for self-distraction of intervertebral space during insertion, as well as conservation of critical structural anatomy
- Tapered posterior/lateral faces contour to bony geometry, improve posterior/lateral resection, and increase insertion safety
- Surface Options:
- Alta Ti
- Acid-etched endplates to resist migration postoperatively
- Acid-etched surface enhances and increases the efficiency of bone growth
- Alta HA PEEK
- HA is fully integrated, not coated, making it available on all surfaces of the spacer to provide an osteoconductive surface for bone ongrowth
- Unidirectional serrated teeth to resist migration postoperatively
- Radiographic markers provide fluoroscopic visualization of the exact orientation of the spacer during implantation
- Alta Ti
Implant Dimensions Overview
- Footprint: 12 x 11, 14 x 12, 16 x 14, or 18 x 15mm
- Height: 15-50mm in 1mm increments
- Lordosis: 7°
About Expandable Corpectomy Devices
Each year, there are more than 150,000 spinal fractures in North America*. There is an estimated 10,000 to 12,000 spinal cord injuries every year and approximately 39% of these injuries are cause by motor vehicle accidents4. These non-elective or trauma surgeries sometimes require additional spinal structural support which is when the Expandable Corpectomy Device are used.Another indication or use for these Devices is in the treatment of cancer patients. If the cancer metastasizes or spreads in the spine, the surgeon may opt to remove the affected vertebral bodies and replace them with an Expandable Corpectomy Device.*(http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1264191-overview)
