Metallic spinal interbody fusion cages are surgical implants placed inside the space where a damaged or removed intervertebral disc once was. They help stabilize the spine and create a scaffold for bone growth, enabling two adjacent vertebrae to fuse together—commonly used to treat degenerative disc disease or spinal instability.
These devices are typically regulated as implants, often requiring pre-market approval or clearance depending on jurisdiction. They may be supplied as standalone cages or paired with fixation hardware, and their design—such as porosity or threading—can influence how they integrate with surrounding bone.
