ROI-A® is a novel system designed for zero-profile,stand-alone* anterior lumbar interbody fusion. The ROI-A ALIF cage features a large central graft space and is available in a variety of footprints, heights, and angles of lordosis to achieve excellent fit and fill in diverse patient anatomy. The cage accommodates self-guided, self-locking VerteBRIDGE® plating designed to provide stability with no instrumentation protruding anterior of the vertebral bodies.
The self-guided, curved VerteBRIDGE plating is delivered in the plane of the disc through a direct anterior approach, so that the surgery can be achieved with less exposure than may be required to implant contemporary stand-alone systems with screws that must be inserted at oblique and challenging angles. The implant holder facilitates optimization of the anterior-posterior position of the implant, provides soft tissue retraction, and protects vascular structures during insertion of the VerteBRIDGE plating.
Features:
- Multiple footprints, lordosis, and heights as well as three plate lengths for optimized fit and stability in various patient anatomy
- Optimized cage shape for peripheral coverage of the endplates and strong support on cortical bone
- Tapered posterior shape to ease insertion
- Middle beam for strength during surgical placement
- Large central graft space
- PEEK-OPTIMA® material for biocompatibility and radiolucency and tantalum markers for verification of cage positioning
- Sterile packaging for assured product quality and absolute traceability.
About ALIF Cages
Anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) is a spine surgery that involves approaching the spine from the front of the body to remove disc or bone material from in between two adjacent lumbar vertebrae. The disc material is then replaced by cage containing bone graft or bone morphogenetic protein.The ALIF cage maintains normal disc height as the bone graft fuses with the bone of the vertebrae above and below to stabilize the spine.
About LDR
LDR was founded in 2000 by partners Christophe Lavigne, Hervé Dinville, and Patrick Richard in Troyes, France with a singular focus on the development of innovative technology for spinal procedures. All LDR resources today are dedicated to this highly specialized segment of the orthopaedic and neurosurgical markets. With headquarter locations in Troyes, France and Austin, USA, LDR has experienced rapid growth through product portfolio expansion and an increasingly global presence. Recently LDR has been acquired by Zimmer Biomet. http://www.ldrmedical.com
