Here are four takeaways:
1. The Tritanium Posterior Lumbar Cage is a 3D-printed intervertebral body fusion device.
2. The cage is intended to aid in lumbar spinal fixation for patients with degenerative disc disease.
3. Stryker’s proprietary Tritanium technology is a novel, highly porous titanium alloy material designed for bone in-growth and biological fixation.
4. The cage is available in a variety of widths, lengths, heights and lordotic angles that can adapt to a variety of patient anatomies. The device is also designed to minimize subsidence into the endplates.
“Spine surgeons need a cage that has the capability of bony integration or bony in-growth, as well as radiolucency so that we can evaluate the fusion long term,” said Wellington Hsu, MD, of Northwestern Medical Group in Chicago. “Because Tritanium has favorable radiographic capabilities, as well as the integrative surface technology, that really in my opinion is what I would ask for from an interbody cage.”
