CALIBER® is an innovative expandable lumbar fusion device that represents the future of MIS by optimizing endplate-to-endplate fit and minimizing insertion force. Insertion of CALIBER® is performed at a contracted height to help reduce the amount of nerve root retraction required and to preserve musculoskeletal composition. Continuous expansion of CALIBER® is designed to restore disc height, while controlled distraction helps to properly tension the annulus and surrounding ligaments.
Benefits:
- Minimal impaction: Contracted insertion height eases insertion into the disc space, helping to reduce musculoskeletal disruption and nerve root retraction
- Controlled disc height restoration: Controlled continuous expansion and distraction is designed to help restore disc height and reduce the risk of over-distraction
- Optimized fit: When expanded in the disc space, the implant optimizes endplate-to-endplate fit
About Expandable Cages
Expandable interbody cages allow surgeons to go through a small corridor and change the geometry of the cage to correspond to what the patient’s spine requires. These implants may help protect a patient’s nerve roots and other structures in the area near the cage or along the corridor through which they are implanted. Sometimes can be implanted with a minimally invasive surgical procedure.
