NEOCIF Anterior Cervical Interbody Fusion Cage - 13mm x 4mm
The NEOCIF Anterior Cervical Interbody Fusion Cage (REF 1263-18) is a Class III implantable medical device manufactured by NORAKER, a French specialist in biomaterial-based implants for spine surgery and bone regeneration. This specific configuration features compact dimensions (13mm anterior-posterior depth, 4mm height) optimized for cervical segments requiring minimal height restoration or in cases of preserved disc space.
Material Composition: Constructed from medical-grade PEEK (polyetheretherketone) combined with Ti6AL4V titanium alloy, the device offers optimal biomechanical characteristics. PEEK provides radiolucency for clear postoperative imaging assessment while exhibiting elastic modulus closer to natural bone, minimizing stress concentration at the bone-implant interface. The titanium component enhances structural integrity and promotes biological integration with adjacent vertebral endplates.
Clinical Indications:
- Mild to moderate cervical degenerative disc disease
- Cervical disc herniation with minimal height loss
- Single-level cervical instability requiring stabilization
- Revision procedures in preserved disc spaces
- Post-traumatic cervical spine reconstruction
- Failed conservative treatment with persistent radiculopathy or myelopathy
Design Specifications: The cage features a hollow central core designed to accommodate bone graft material (autogenous or synthetic bone substitutes), facilitating biological fusion between adjacent vertebral bodies. Its anatomically contoured profile ensures maximum contact with vertebral endplates, providing immediate mechanical stability during the fusion consolidation period. The 4mm height makes it particularly suitable for cases with well-preserved disc height or where minimal distraction is required.
Surgical Application: Implanted through an anterior cervical approach following complete discectomy and endplate preparation, the cage acts as a structural spacer maintaining foraminal dimensions for nerve root decompression. The low profile minimizes surgical exposure requirements and reduces soft tissue disruption during implantation.
