PRODUCT NAME: CASTLE CERVICAL MESH CAGE SYSTEM AND RELATED INSTRUMENTS

COMMERCIAL NAME: CASTLE SYSTEM

REFERENCE: 15

MANUFACTURER: Mediimplantes S.A.

MANUFACTURING MATERIAL: Ti 6Al 4V ELI (Extra low interstitial) Alloy for Surgical Implant Applications – UNS R56401, ASTM F136-02.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION:

CASTLE is a cervical mesh cage system of different sizes and angulation parameters between faces, indicated for patients with pathologies which require corrections through anterior approach cervical corpectomy.

The cervical mesh’s purpose is to maintain separation of bodies previously adjacent to the removed body and to provide anterior, central and posterior support of the cervical spine. It also maintains lordosis both immediately after surgery and for prolonged periods of time while bone fusion is achieved. It also works as a container for bone graft, used to achieve bone fusion; its frontal face reduces risk of bone graft migration to the spinal canal.

The jagged shape of its superior and inferior surfaces increases adherence to vertebral bodies and reduces risk of retropulsion. Furthermore, the increase in contact face diameter provides better support of the mesh and reduces subsidence.

INDICATIONS:

– Vertebral body replacement in patients with fractures or tumors, where anterior- approach partial or total corpectomy is performed.

– Tumors or fractures

– Cervical spine reconstruction

– Compressive myelopathy- associated cervical spine degenerative disease
