SAGITTA
PRODUCT NAME: MEDIIMPLANTES INTERVERTEBRAL CASE SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED INSTRUMENTS
COMMERCIAL NAME: SAGITTA SYSTEM
REFERENCE: 111
MANUFACTURER: Mediimplantes S.A.
MANUFACTURING MATERIAL:
PEEK is a material according to ASTM F2026 – Standard Specification for Poly-Ether-Ether-Ketone (PEEK) – Polymer for surgical applications. PEEK offers several advantages over materials traditionally used to develop medical devices. Amongst them, the material is radiolucent, which allows the surgeon better evaluate arthrodesis progress without any type of image.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
SAGITTA is a system composed of PEEK intersomatic cervical cases offered in different heights. The system is indicated for patients with cervical and degenerative disc pathologies and applied through anterior-approach cervical discectomies and intersomatic arthrodesis. Placement of the PEEK cases is done with the purpose of avoiding bone graft displacement; maintaining disc and foraminal height; restoring yellow ligament folding; avoiding pseudarthrosis; and maintaining cervical spine lordosis.
INDICATIONS
– Cervical pseudarthrosis
– Cervical disc hernia
– Recurrent cervical disc hernias
– Cervical degenerative disc disease
– Cervical instabilities and degenerative discopathies
– Pseudarthrosis and unsuccessful arthrodesis
STUDIES AND TESTS
– Static compression test based on ASTM F2077 – Tests Methods for Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices
CERTIFICATES
– ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 certificates
– INVIMA Sanitary Registration Nr. 2010DM-0006328
