Polymeric spinal interbody fusion cages are implanted into the space where a damaged or removed intervertebral disc once was, bridging two adjacent vertebrae to promote bone fusion. They provide structural support while creating a scaffold for bone growth, often used in treating degenerative disc disease or spinal instability by restoring alignment and stability to the spine.
These devices are typically made from durable synthetic polymers like PEEK and are classified as implantable surgical tools, often requiring regulatory approval for safety and efficacy. They may be sold as standalone implants or as part of a larger spinal fusion system, including fixation hardware, depending on the manufacturer’s design and intended use.
