AVS Anchor-C is an anterior cervical stand-alone cage system that combines an interbody cage with integrated internal screw and plate fixation. The AVS® Anchor-C Cervical Cage is a hollow, rectangular-shaped PEEK Optima® LT1 (per ASTM F2026) cage assembled to a titanium alloy (per ASTM F136 and ISO 5832-3) plate and has one tantalum marker (per ASTM F560). It is intended for use as an interbody fusion device and is offered in a variety of heights, footprints, and lordotic angles to adapt to varying patient anatomies. The PEEK Optima® LT1 cage portion consists of one closed pocket for graft containment and has serrations on the superior and inferior surfaces of the cage. The implant is designed to be used exclusively with the internal supplemental fixation provided (AVS® Anchor-C Fixation Screws). The AVS® Anchor-C Fixation Screws are constructed from titanium alloy and possess clips that mate with internal features located within the AVS® Anchor-C Cervical Cage. Once fully seated into the holes, the screws are designed to lock into the titanium plate
Features:
- Large graft volume helps maximize bone graft to host bone contact
- Self-locking screws reduce the number of surgical steps
- Angled and flexible instrumentation provides intraoperative solutions for reaching each level of the cervical spine
