Here are three details:
1. The implant is comprised of titanium and features a roughened endplate surface and integrated fixation blades, which are designed to deploy toward and behind the anterior vertebral cortex and away from the spinal cord.
2. Without using force or impaction, the implant positions the fixation blades in a controlled manner and does not require the exposure needed to implant nonintegrated blades or screws.
3. Designed with an open face implant style and modular graft cap, the device allows surgeons to completely fill the disc space with bone graft regardless of endplate anatomy.
