BEE® Cages were especially adapted to the local anatomy to secure the surgical outcome at the best. The caudal side is flat, the cranial side is domed and the implant is formed conically from anterior to posterior. In the lateral view, the implant has a slightly lordotic formand is available in 4°, 8° and 12° lordosis. The cage disposes of 4 pins on both bone facing surfaces. BEE® implants are made of titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V_ELI) according to ASTM-F 3001. It is not allowed to use BEE® implants in contact with components of other manufacturers.
A device intended to be implanted into the space of an intervertebral disc that has been partially or totally removed during surgery in order to allow bone fusion between two contiguous vertebral bodies, typically in the treatment of degenerative disc disease (DDD). It is in the form of a hollow, porous, threaded and/or fenestrated cylindrical or geometrical device made of metal [e.g., titanium (Ti)] that provides mechanical stability and sufficient space for therapeutic spinal bone fusion to occur; bone graft is typically used to help with osseointegration. Fixation screws and devices associated with implantation may be included with the device.
