The ALIF PEEK Intervene bra I Cage system consists of polietheroetheroketone cages of various widths, heights and angles to adapt best to variety of patients' anatomies. The ALIF PEEK Intervene bra I Cages are designed for use with bone grafting for spondylodesis of one level or two contiguous levels of lumbar spine. The implants are indicated for treatment of degenerative disc disease (DDD) and grade 1 spondylolisthesis in lumbar spine from L2 to SI. The ALIF PEEK Intervertebral Cages should be used with additional stabilizing devices allowed for surgeries of lumbar spine {e.g.: a system of posterior pedicle screws and rods). Degenerative disc disease (DDD) is defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. Patients qualified for treatment should be skeletally mature and have had at least six months of non-operative treatment. Contraindications may be relative and absolute. The selection of an appropriate implant must be preceded by careful and thorough assessment of patient's state of health. Certain disease and physiological states such as: • spine infection, • morbid obesity, • mental illness, • addiction to alcohol or drugs, • pregnancy, • intolerance to metals, foreign bodies, • inadequate tissue coverage or open wounds in the surgical site, may preclude or reduce the chance of successful outcome. IMPLANT FEATURES • Stiffness of biocompatible PEEK polymer approximates the patient's bone which provides ideal load sharing attributes. • Radiolucency of PEEK polymer offers an accurate visualization and assessment of the fusion.
