By precision machining all the surfaces of the AlloQuent cervical allograft, surgeons can be sure that the dimensions of the insert they select exactly matches the dimensions they require. Precision machining also enables the upper and lower surfaces to contain ribs to help prevent backout during insertion. It also enables a hole for osteoinductive/conductive material to be formed without weakening the insert.
- precision machined for exact dimensions
- anti-backout ribs
- hole for osteoinductive/conductive material
Blackstone has made the allograft insertion process more simple and accurate in several ways. First, the inserter grips the allograft rather than tacking in, ensuring its integrity is maintained. Secondly, the inserter can double as an impactor should the surgeon so choose: its depth stops provide exact placement even when visualization is limited.
- inserter grips allograft
- inserter depth stops ensure exact placement
Though allograft is common to many cervical procedures, there is nothing common about the advanced details that are engineered into AlloQuent. Through detailed consideration of the factors that affect surgeons' ability to do their best, Blackstone has created a system that removes the variables that can slow the process down.
