The Oblique Lateral Interbody Fusion (OLIF) Cage is manufactured from radiolucent PEEK (polyetheretherketone) with integrated tantalum radiopaque markers for accurate intraoperative positioning and postoperative imaging.
The cage is designed for implantation between lumbar vertebral bodies through an oblique lateral approach, utilizing a natural anatomical corridor to help minimize muscle and nerve disruption. Its distraction-compression stabilization design provides immediate segmental stability, resistance to rotational and shear forces, and a suitable environment for intervertebral fusion.
-Features
Anatomical Design
• Wedge-shaped or parallel endplates are designed to match different vertebral endplate anatomies.
• Multiple shapes and sizes, including cylindrical and rectangular profiles with angled tips, provide flexibility for different surgical requirements.
Anti-Migration Structure
• Serrated upper and lower surfaces enhance initial fixation and help prevent cage migration.
Graft Window
• The central graft window provides sufficient space for autologous bone or bone substitutes to support fusion.
Insertion Design
• Bullet-shaped leading edge facilitates smooth insertion through the oblique anatomical corridor.
Radiopaque Markers
• Tantalum markers enable clear implant identification and positioning under fluoroscopy or X-ray.
PEEK Material
• PEEK provides radiolucency, mechanical strength, and excellent imaging compatibility, supporting long-term implantation.
