The MINERVA™ Variable Angle ACIF Cage is a stand-alone interbody fusion device with internal screw fixation and is intended to be used in anterior cervical discectomy and fusion procedures, which combines the functionality of a cervical interbody spacer and benefits of an anterior cervical plate.. This system integrates a hollow PEEK spacer with a titanium screw locking mechanism and is designed to aid in cervical interbody fusion. A titanium marker is embedded into the cage to help visually confirm the posterior position under fluoroscopy. The interbody plate with stops is pre-attached to the PEEK spacer, the interbody plate with stops is automatically aligned upon implant insertion. The integrated design allows for rigid screw fixation without any added anterior profile. Interbody plate with stops – Titanium alloy interbody plate provides a stable fixation with screws. – Stresses in the interbody plate with stops are decoupled from the spacer through an innovative interface. – Contralateral safety stops designed to prevent over insertion and align with the anterior surface of the vertebral bodies. . The interbody device is offered in a variety of lengths, heights and lordotic angles.
