E Ordering Information E1 Implants E2 Instruments

Foreword CeSpace is a spacer used for cervical interbody fusion. It is indicated for the treatment of degenerative diseases of the cervical disc and instabilities in the C3 to C7 region. The design of the CeSpace implant allows a maximum contact area between implant and vertebral endplates. CeSpace implants are available in PEEK and Titanium, depending on the preference of the surgeon. Stabilization with CeSpace Titanium. CeSpace stands for Primary stability Restoration of the natural disc height and lordosis and Long-term maintenance of the spinal balance. Combined with reliable...

CeSpace – Titanium The heart of this implant is a solid titanium alloy core (Ti6Al4V / ISO5832-3). The core is mantled with the proven Plasmapore coating to increase the area of contact between implant and endplate. Plasmapore is a pure titanium coating (Ti / ISO5832-2) which offers an optimal foundation for the ingrowth of bone due to its balanced relationship between pore depth, porosity and roughness. Using a special manufacturing procedure, the implant surface is sprayed with pure titanium powder. Molten titanium particles settle on the core of the implant where they cool rapidly,...

CeSpace – PEEK The material used is biocompatible PEEK-OPTIMA, which was introduced by Invibio in 1999. PEEK stands for PolyEtherEtherKetone. PEEK-OPTIMA polymer complies with ISO 10993-1, USP Class VI and ASTM F2026 for use as a medical implant material. The use of PEEK-OPTIMA as an orthopedic device material enjoys increased popularity in recent years due to the material’s unique combination of characteristics. It’s properties include radiolucency, high mechanical strength, biocompatibility and compatibility with standard sterilization methods. Of particular interest is the modulus of...

Fig. 1 ❚ CASPAR Cervical Retractor System Patient Positioning ❚ The patient is placed in the supine position with the head slightly reclined (Fig. 1) and stabilized in a head holder. Once the lordotic cervical spine has been supported, the thorax may be placed on a pillow to emphasize the reclination of the cervical spine. The arms are fixed along the sides of the body. Exposure of the Intervertebral Space ❚ After the skin incision and preparation, the CCR retractor is applied. The blades are available in PEEK and Titanium. A counter retractor can be used (Fig. 2). The subcutaneous tissue...

The flexible sheath on the inserter has a stop at the front end which prevents the implant from being inserted too deeply into the intervertebral disc compartment. ❚ The implant should be inserted centrally in AP and with a distance of approximately 1-2 mm to both the anterior and posterior rim (Fig. 7). ❚ If indicated an Aesculap cervical plate...
