Spinal cage

Intended purpose

The ulrich titanium cages are an implant group for support of the intervertebral space in the lumbar and lumbosacral spine in humans with the purpose of supporting bone fusion of the vertebral bodies. The ulrich titanium cages are inserted individually or in pairs between two vertebral bodies. The implants can also serve as a means of restoring the spinal profile. To achieve fusion, the implant should always be inserted with bone or bone graft material into the intervertebral space. Additional stabilizing instrumentation is necessary, for example, with a pedicle screw-rod-system. Indications for fusion procedures are for example:patients with infections associated with the spine (e.g. spondylodiscitis), degenerative disk disease, post-diskectomy syndrome, revision following disk surgery, degenerative instability, lytic spondylolisthesis, congenital malposition, such as scoliosis, spinal stenosis with clinical instability, pseudarthrosis.
