SASCA comprises of a PEEK-OPTIMA body with posterior titanium-alloy imaging markers, and titanium-alloy bone-anchoring screws. It is provided with one superiorly angled screw hole and two inferiorly angled screw holes, as well as two cavities for bone inserts/bone graft.
The SASCA™ is anatomically-shaped to fit the lumbar disc space optimally, with two footprint sizes and multiple heights to restore disc height. Surface serrations prevent the device from being displaced between the vertebrae. The device is provided in two different lordotic angles for treatment of lordosis, as well as two scoliosis-correcting profiles. Large bone graft windows accommodate bone graft or synthetic bone inserts, improving osseointegration with the vertebral endplates. The bone-anchoring screws incorporate dual-start thread for quicker insertion, as well as locking thread that, while allowing for easier explantation if required, interferes with the screw holes to prevent screw back-out.
