NeoLif® Intersomatic Lumbar Cages
The lumbar interbody fusion with bone graft solves and provides a logical solution for discal diseases once the movement of the vertebral segment is eliminated.
The theoretical principles of the interbody cages are based on the following pillars:
- Mechanical function, allows restoration of the intervertebral disc height and inmediate stability of the mobile segments.
- Biological function, related to the bone graft introduction into and around the cage, facilitates the interbody fusion. The new NeoLif® system offers the surgeon 3 new solutions to the requirements in 360º lumbar fusions with posterior instrumentation.
Indications Lumbar & Lumbo-sacrum Levels
- Degenerative disc disorders and instabilities
- Grade I and II degenerative spondylolisthesis
- Grade I and II isthmus spondylolisthesis
- Pseudoarthrosis or failed arthrodesis
Common Benefits & General Advantages
- Complete range of implant sizes.
- Common Instrumentation: minimizes inventory.
- Sterile package.
- Large implant cavity for optimal bone graft growth.
- Compatibility with MRI.
- Primary fixation of the unstable segment.
- Allows for tension band effect.
- Restores the intervertebral disc height.
- Decompression of nerve roots.
- Keeps the foramen open.
- Restores lumbar lordosis.
- Promotes interbody bone fusion.
- Large implant surface area for optimal end plate contact.
Note: NEOLIF® cages are not stand-alone devices. They can be used with any posterior lumbar fixation system such as the Biomet® OMEGA21 System
