Rig®-C (Cervical Interbody Cages)
About
The Rig®-C implant is designed to meet the specific demands of anterior cervical interbody fusion procedures.
The Rig®-C system is intended to replace cervical intervertebral discs and to fuse adjacent vertebral bodies at vertebral levels C2 – C7 following anterior cervical discectomy for reduction and stabilization of the cervical spine.
The use of autologous bone or bone graft substitute is recommended.
Features
The implant features a large central canal and is available in multiple sizes to accommodate various patient anatomies.
Implant-Instrument interface Stable interface for fast and effective connection/release with the insertion device
Pyramidal teeth Provide resistance to implant migration.
Anatomic shapes multiple implant variations offered to suit individual anatomical conditions.
Large central canal Accommodates autogenous bone graft or bone graft substitute to allow fusion to occur through the implant
