1. The interbody cages are designed to optimize bony integration and postoperative visualization.
2. The cages are circumferentially coated with a rough Ti-iT titanium coating, which is applied using a vacuum plasma spray procedure. The Ti-iT commercially pure titanium coating is engineered to enable bony ongrowth to the implant.
3. The nonmetallic, radiolucent BlackArmor Carbon/PEEK composite material at the implants’ core consists of continuous carbon fibers combined with PEEK.
4. The cages will be widely available in the U.S. starting in August 2018.
