The basic shape of the NUBIC and RABEA devices is a rectangular frame. The upper and lower aspects of the implant are open with surface spikes which assist in the positive anchorage and seating between the superior and inferior vertebral bodies. The device is available in a variety of sizes enabling the surgeon to choose the size best suited to the individual pathology and anantomical condition. A connecting screw is available which permits attachment of the NUBIC (without strut) to the SIGNUS TOSCA II anterior cervical plate if the surgeon so chooses.
A sterile device intended to help fuse segments of the spine to treat anatomical abnormalities of the vertebrae, typically due to degenerative intervertebral disks [i.e., degenerative disc disease (DDD)]. The device is typically designed as a small, hollow and/or porous, threaded or fenestrated cylinder (or other geometric form) and is made of non-bioabsorbable synthetic polymer [e.g., polyetheretherketone (PEEK)] that is implanted between the bones or bone grafts of the spine, to provide mechanical stability and sufficient space for bone fusion to occur. Disposable devices associated with implantation may be included.
