In recent years, the use of interbody cages has grown in popularity as an alternative to conventional bone grafts. The AFFINITY® Anterior Cervical Cage System offers an attractive alternative to current methods for treating disc disease in the cervical spine.
Broad Application
The AFFINITY® Anterior Cervical Cage System uses a threaded cage, indicated for single-level anterior cervical discectomies with fusion (ACDFs). The system's range of cage sizes accommodates a wide variety of cervical anatomies.
Basics and Benefits
The AFFINITY® Anterior Cervical Cage System features a lordotically ta

This anterolateral/anterior system consists of several vertebral screws, locking
nuts, spine plates and rods. The points of attachment are screw fixation to the
anterolateral vertebral bodies of the lumbar and thoracic spine (T1 to L5). This
system is intended to provide stabilization during development of a solid
spinal fusion. When used as an anterolateral/anterior spine plate MACSTL
Modular Anterior Construct System is indicated for patients with:
• Degenerative disc disease defined as back pain of discogenic origin with
degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies

The Anterior Isola System is intended for use in correcting scoliotic, lordotic or kyphotic spinal deformities by establishing an axially stiff fixation bridge parallel to the long axis of the spine. The system, developed for anterior implantation, has the advantage of avoiding major spinal support musculature.

The Anterior ISOLA Spine System is intended for use in correcting scoliotic, lordotic or kyphotic spinal deformities by establishing an axially stiff fixation bridge parallel to the long axis of the spine. The system, developed for anterior implantation, has the advantage of avoiding major spinal support musculature.
The Anterior ISOLA Spine System utilizes both 1/4" and 3/16" rods for alignment correction. Additionally, the system includes a full range of staples, closed screws, open screws and washers. The screws employ DePuy Spine's patented VHG connection, designed to provide superior late

ATHLET is a vertebral body replacement that is implanted using an anterior approach to treat various problems due to instabilities and stenosis in the cervical spine. ATHLET uses a unique concept of a two part, main body and end body, implant construct that offers the surgeon flexibility in choosing the correct implant in relation to the individual patient's needs.

The ATLANTIS VISION® Anterior Cervical Plate System has been designed to meet the clinical challenges of anterior cervical surgery by offering a construct that incorporates an attached locking mechanism and the choice of fixed- or variable-angle screws for ease of implantation in standard and complex cases alike.
Features and Benefits
The ATLANTIS VISION® Anterior Cervical Plate System offers:
Alignment notches for precise midline placement
Allows variable angle screw placement
Fixed- and variable-angle self-drilling screws for fewer surgical steps
Attached locking mechanism that simplifie

Over the past twenty years, there has been a significant increase in the use of cervical plates for single and multi-level anterior cervical surgery. One of the goals of a cervical plate is to improve initial stability in the post-operative period in order to decrease the need for wearing a cervical collar and result in a faster return to normal activities. In addition, anterior cervical plate fixation can potentially decrease the complications of graft dislocation, end plate fracture, and late kyphotic collapse.

The X-spine Capless™ Pedicle Screw System incorporates unique rotary locking technology which allows for simple rod locking without a separate cap or setscrew. Through its unified design, the Capless System avoids the problems of cross threading, head splaying and cap loosening endemic to cap-type pedicle screw systems. Furthermore, the Capless System achieves biomechanical performance superior to leading polyaxial screw systems.
