The subject device, the QUASAR Standalone ACIF System cages are designed for restoring the height of the intervertebral space after resection of the disc while also providing biomechanical stability with the addition on an integrated plate. This integrated plate allows for the user to bypass using an additional plate as seen with traditional ACIF spacers. The QUASAR Standalone ACIF System devices consist of implants available in various heights and lordotic configurations with an open architecture to accept packing of bone graft material. The supplementary fixation screws are used along with the subject device cage and plate. The intervertebral body fusion devices are made of hydroxyapatite polyether-ether-ketone (HA PEEK OPTIMA LT1) body with Titanium alloy plates (Ti-6Al-4V) and supplementary screws made up of Titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V).
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.
