| HRCC®Cervical |
Locking cervical cage HRCC® is part of a range of stand alone cages offering a primary and secondary stability locking mechanism without the need of anterior plate fixation (please refer to instructional notice of HRCC®implants).
The cage is inserted according to routine technique, then the surgeon locks the cage by simple rotation of the instrument.The blade penetrates into vertebral plates and prevents primary and/or secondary micro movements, advancing the fusion of the graft with vertebra.In case of revision, the surgeon may unlock the cage by a simple opposite rotation of the instrument.
The cervical locking cage HRCC® is used as « stand alone » without the need of the ostheosynthesis except for the cases of traumatic (fractures) or osteoporotic cases.
These cages are commercialised since 2002, first distributed by Sulzer Co. (Swisserland), then by Zimmer Co. between 2004 and 2009.
Eurospine has been distributing HRCC®
cages by its own distribution network since 2007 in more than 14 countries.
To date, more than 17000 cervical locking cages HRCC have been implanted without any complications inherent to these remarkable cages.
The innovative mechanism of cervical Locking Cage HRCC® is protected by multiple EUROSPINE patent licences.
The stability of the implant is supported by simple rotation of the instrument after the insertion of the cage.
Locking cervical cage HRCC® presents several advantages:
- Anatomical shape
- Immediate and post-operative stability
- Large fusion space
- Excellent distribution of impacting shocks
- Easy surgical technique
- Easy instrumentation
- Clear presentation of the container
- Custom Bone substitute are available, for easy insertion into the cage
- Laser marking CE 0120 on the blade
- The migration of the cage made impossible: thanks to its anatomical form which fits perfectly to the vertebral endplates, its blade and in particular its fixing system
- Thanks to its fixing system no need to insert a plate with supplementary ancillary (equipment, operating time, complications) (please refer to instructional notice of HRCC)
- Easy ancillary container: trial cages of different sizes and unique implant holder with minimum need to educate the staff before using and ordinary sterilisation
- Operating in security: stops on the instrument avoid any nerve traumatisation
- The implant holder is very fine, comparing to other systems which are voluminous and risk to hurt nearby structures (particularly l’oesophagus) while inserting the cage. That allows appreciating directly the laterality and the depth of the cage.
- Very easy system of fixing without the need of handling in force which supports a fixing both for extrusion and intrusion and which allows to adjust the cage if neccesary
- Scope control reduced, only 2 scopes: with the trial cage and the cage (visual marking on the cage)
- Xray marker on the radiolucent cage
- The blade is designed to support primary and secondary stability to the cage. As the cage is radiolucent, the blade can also be used as an X-ray witness.
