The Valeo II AL Interbody Fusion Device is made of Amedica’s proprietary medical grade silicon nitride ceramic – an ideal material for fusion, due to its inherent osteoconductivity, anti-infective properties, bone-like imaging (artifact-free & semi-radiolucent), and exceptional strength.
Features:
- Hydrophilic surface material attracts proteins and osteoprogenitors, providing the ideal environment for bone growth and osseointegration
- Directional surface teeth resist expulsion
- Shape distributes load over a large surface area
- Central cavity maximized for autograft packing to facilitate fusion through the implant
- Prominent dovetail feature enables precise insertion control
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.
