The basic shape of the TASMIN R devices is a hollow structural frame having a rounded, tapered leading face. The upper and lower aspects of the implant are open with peaked teeth that assist in anchoring and seating the implant between the vertebral bodies. There are lateral fenestrations for bony in-growth. the device is avaible in a variety of sizes and angulations thereby enabling the surgeon to choose the size best suited to the individual pathology and anatomical condition.
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.
