Avenue® L Lateral Lumbar Cage is designed for strength, versatility, and stability. It represents the pinnacle of lateral lumbar cage evolution incorporating zero-profile, intradiscal, and integrated fixation. The enhanced in-line, self-guided VerteBRIDGE® Plating Technology facilitates simplified cage insertion all through a direct, minimally invasive approach.
Benefits:
Designed for patient safety
- All implants are delivered in sterile packaging to ensure product quality and absolute traceability.
- The self-retaining design with chevron shaped teeth ensures an optimal primary stability.
- The cage design maximizes the contact area with the peripheral cortical bone of the endplates.
- The wide graft chamber, combined with anterior vascularization holes, optimizes the contact between the graft and the vertebral endplates enhancing the quality of the fusion.
- The Avenue L cage is manufactured from PEEK Optima®:a biocompatible material with a modulus of elasticity close to that of healthy bone. Its radiolucency enables postoperative assessment of fusion.
A safe and direct insertion
- The cage and its anchoring system are directly inserted along the axis of the disc allowing for a minimal invasive lateral approach to the spine, reducing vascular risks and respecting anatomic structures.
- The bevelled shape of the cage enables self-distraction of the intervertebral disc space facilitating insertion while respecting the vertebral endplates.
- The I-beam design increases the rigidity of the cage structure and supports the graft during insertion into the intervertebral space.
- Millimetric adjustment of the cage-holder ensures optimal positioning of the cage prior to half anchoring plate insertion.
- Self-guided anchoring system insertion: 1 instrument, 2 steps for a simple, reliable, fast and reproducible insertion.
Comprehensive selection to match patient anatomy
The wide range of cage dimensions (footprint, height, lordosis) and half anchoring plate lengths (S, M, L) enables to adapt the implant to all patient anatomies and accomodates multi-level surgeries or hybrid constructs.
