What is Titanium mesh cages？

Titanium mesh cages are medical devices used in spinal fusion surgery to provide structural support and promote bone growth in the affected area.

They are typically made of titanium, a strong and lightweight metal that is biocompatible with the human body. The mesh design allows for bone to grow through the cage and fuse with the adjacent vertebral bodies, creating a solid fusion mass.

Titanium mesh cages are used in a variety of spinal fusion procedures, including anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) and lumbar interbody fusion (LIF).

What is the material of Titanium mesh cages？

Titanium mesh cages are made of pure titanium or titanium alloy, which are biocompatible and corrosion-resistant materials. The titanium mesh used in the cages is typically made from thin, woven wires of titanium that are shaped into a cage-like structure. The mesh allows for bony ingrowth and fusion, providing stability and support to the spinal column.

What are the types of Titanium mesh cages？

Titanium mesh cages come in different shapes and sizes, and can be customized to fit the specific patient anatomy and surgical needs. Some common types of titanium mesh cages include:

1. Rectangular or square-shaped cages: These are typically used for interbody fusion procedures in the lumbar spine.

2. Cylindrical or bullet-shaped cages: These are used for cervical and thoracic spine procedures, and can be inserted from either the anterior or posterior approach.

3. Wedge-shaped cages: These are used for deformity correction and restoration of sagittal balance in the lumbar spine.

4. Customized cages: In some cases, titanium mesh cages can be designed and 3D printed to match the patient's unique anatomy.

Overall, the type of titanium mesh cage used depends on the surgical goals, patient anatomy, and surgeon preference.
