The Cascadia AN Lordotic 3D Interbody System includes a full range of unique and anatomically designed interbodies for multiple spinal applications. This system offers a comprehensive solution that is designed to restore disc height and sagittal balance in the lumbar spine. Lamellar 3D Titanium Technology incorporates 300-500 um longitudinal channels throughout the implant, which in conjunction with transverse windows, create an interconnected lattice designed to allow for bony integration.
Features:
- Roughened titanium surfaces have been shown to demonstrate increased protein expression in contrast to smooth titanium surfaces [3,4,5]
- Lamellar 3D titanium interbody with approximately 70% porosity [1]
- Reverse hourglass design allows for a large graft volume [1]
- Bulleted nose to ease insertion [1]
- 3-5 μm surface roughness to allow for direct bony ongrowth [1,2]

About Stryker Spine
Stryker’s Spine division also introduced its Tritanium® first product 3D-printed interbody fusion cage intended for use in the cervical spine, at the North American Spine Society (NASS) Annual Meeting, Oct. 25-28, 2017.Tritanium Cages are built using Stryker’s proprietary Tritanium In-Growth Technology, a novel, highly porous titanium material designed for bone in-growth and biological fixation.AMagine™ technology, Stryker’s proprietary approach to implant creation using additive manufacturing, allows for the production of randomized yet reproducible porous structures.
