27x21mm Trial 12mm 12 deg. The Vu a-POD intervertebral body fusion device is comprised of polymer (PEEK OPTIMA® LT) concave cages. The PEEK cages include tantalumpins (or radiopaque markers) for radiological evaluation. All pins are press fit into the PEEK material. The pins are placed in the implant on each end of the PEEK cages to allow easier radiological assessment of the position and orientation of the radiolucent PEEK cage.
An assembly of non-sterile implantable devices intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in the treatment of various spinal instabilities or deformities, also used as an adjunct to spinal fusion [e.g., for degenerative disc disease (DDD)]. Otherwise known as a pedicle screw instrumentation system, it typically consists of a combination of anchors (e.g., bolts, hooks, pedicle screws or other types), interconnection mechanisms (incorporating nuts, screws, sleeves, or bolts), longitudinal members (e.g., plates, rods, plate/rod combinations), and/or transverse connectors. Non-sterile disposable devices associated with implantation may be included.
