To provide maximum strength to the construct with the safest clearance of the spinal column, NGage features a unique multi-lobe design. This enables the greatest surface area for support without encroaching on the spinal column. The NGage's unique end-caps provide further degree of patient safety and construct stability by preventing device subsidence. Also, the end-caps' textured surfaces prevent potential slippage during insertion.
- Lobed design provides maximum surface area
- End caps prevent subsidence and potential slippage
The diamond-shape cut-outs of the mesh body provides surgeons with several advantages. The mesh configuration enables the surgeon to trim the NGage to precisely the height each case requires. (The end caps encase the trimmed surfaces.) The cut-outs also allow for optimal fusion conditions for osteoconductive or osteoinductive materials utilized during the procedure.
- Implant height matches patient anatomy
- Cut-outs optimize fusion conditions for osteoconductive materials
Greater strength from a more compact footprint helps NGage provide greater assurance for fusion in VBR procedures. The ability to trim each segment precisely to patient anatomy while the end caps protect adjoining vertebral body surfaces assures the surgeon that every aspect of a successful procedure is addressed.
