The CeSpaceXP Interbody System brings a surface enhancing technology, Plasmapore®XP, to ACDF procedures. The combination of a PEEK-OPTIMA®* core with the osteoconductive PlasmaporeXP coating delivers enhanced implant stability, artifact free visualization, and proven biocompatibility.
PlasmaporeXP osteoconductive porous Titanium coating over PEEK-Optima core Superior and inferior ridges plus roughened surface deliver enhanced stability 30 size options ensure compatibility with varying patient anatomies Generous graft window for packing of bone graft material X-Ray marker pins in combination with PlasmaporeXP allow optimal imaging Individually sterile-packed to ensure safety Comprehensive and easy-to-use instrumentation PlasmaporeXP Surface-Enhancing Technology Aesculap maximized 20 years of success in applying Plasmapore® coatings to Titanium orthopedic and spine implants to develop the PlasmaporeXP coating for PEEK spinal implants. The porous coating delivers a number of operational advantages:
Improved Implant Stability High Adhesion Strength Increased Migration Resistance Exceptional Imaging Properties
Zaccaria et al. presented the clinical experience in a group of 180 patients with a mean follow-up for at least 2 years. Patients were evaluated by clinical and radiological assessment preoperatively, immediately after surgery and at regular follow-up. There were 97 male and 83 female patients (average age: 56.6 years) who were preoperatively affected by cervical radiculomyelopathy that was due to spondylosis or cervical disk herniation and who underwent surgical treatment. All patients underwent an anterior discectomy and interbody fusion through the positioning of one or more levels of the CeSPACE device. Compared with the preoperative scores, improvement was seen in postoperative visual analog scale (VAS) scores and Neck Disability Index (NDI) values. The standalone intersomatic titanium cage CeSPACE for anterior cervical discectomy and arthrodesis improved radiculomyelopathy and increased the probability of cervical kyphotic alignment. However, cervical sagittal alignment after surgery was not significantly associated with clinical outcomes in terms of postoperative improvement in VAS scores and NDI values. Similarly, the change in cervical sagittal alignment was not related to visual analog scale scores or Neck Disability Index values 1)
