NGM WAVE® PLIF cages have been specially adapted to suit the local anatomy to ensure the operative outcome to the greatest extent possible. NGM WAVE® PLIF cages are made of PEEK-OPTIMA Natural and tantalum (pins) in accordance with ASTM F560. The implants are available in various heights, lengths and lordosis angles. The cranial and caudal side of the implant is fitted with teeth to achieve a good degree of anchoring of the implant.
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 non-bioabsorbable synthetic polymer [e.g., polyetheretherketone (PEEK)] 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.
