DOWNLOAD DATAThe Adaptix™ titanium spinal cage combines the trusted features of the Capstone™ spinal system, with several design enhancements.
1. Honeycomb Structure
2. Open Graft Windows
3. Dolphin Nose
4. Lateral Windows
5. Implant Width of 10mm
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.
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
