The basic shape of the KIMBA®, KIMBA® mini, MOBIS®, NOVAL™, SEMIAL®, PEEK TETRIS™ and Titanium TETRIS™devices is a hollow structural frame. The upper and lower aspects of the implant are open. Surface spikes assist in the positive anchorage and seating of the implant between the 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 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.
