PRODUCT DETAILS

TRUSTED DESIGN, ENHANCED FEATURES

The Adaptix™ titanium spinal cage combines the trusted features of the Capstone™ spinal system, with several design enhancements.

Close up of the Adaptix interbody device features.

1. Honeycomb Structure

  • Allows for more bony surface contact area compared to an open spinal cage design
  • Designed to minimize the stress load onto the endplates compared to an open spinal cage design
  • Designed to decrease subsidence compared to an open spinal cage design
  • Acts as an osteoconductive scaffold for bony growth into the spinal implant

2. Open Graft Windows

  • Allows for a continuous column of graft directly in contact with the endplate

3. Dolphin Nose

  • Aids in disc space distraction during insertion

4. Lateral Windows

  • Allows for visualization

5. Implant Width of 10mm

SCIENCE-BACKED Nano Surface Technology

Titan nanoLOCK™ surface technology is created through a subtractive manufacturing process that removes material to enable a proprietary blend of surfaces at the macro, micro, and nano levels on every surface of the implant.

Inspired by nature, this surface technology uses "biomimicry" of osteoclastic pit geometry to mimic structures involved in the bone remodeling process.

LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS TECHNOLOGY

Driven by science, Titan nanoLOCK™ surface technology emerged from a research-first approach to development. Multiple peer-reviewed in vitro studies resulted in Titan nanoLOCK surface technology being the first to demonstrate the elements to be considered in nanotechnology as outlined by the FDA.4

SPINE NAVIGATION EFFICIENCY AND CONFIDENCE

The navigated Adaptix™ interbody system integrates with the StealthStation™ navigation and O-arm™ imaging systems to enable pre-surgical planning, real-time navigation, and other benefits including virtual sizing of the spinal implant, 3D implant placement visualization, and confirmation of implant placement using the Surgical Synergy™ workflow.
