The Samson Corpectomy is designed to restore the biomechanical integrity of the anterior, middle and posterior spinal column, to achieve anterior decompression of the spinal cord and neural tissues, and to restore the height of a collapsed vertebral body. The implants have ridges or teeth in both the superior and inferior directions, which resist migration. The implants have cavities to accept packing of autograft and/or allograft. The entire structure is radiolucent so that healing can be assessed by normal radiographic methods. Additionally, radiotherapy can be performed immediately after surgery. The materials used in the implant are listed on the packages. Implants are made from PEEK per ASTM F2026. To ensure radiographic visibility for inspecting the implant position, they contain marker pins made of x-ray opaque implant material (Tantalum).  

Features

• Constructed of PEEK
• Tantalum radiopaque markers to optimize visibility and placement
• Pyramidal teeth provide multi- directional resistance to migration
• Hollow core allows for large amounts of graft material to facilitate fusion
• Cylindrical shape
• Design ensures a high degree of compressive strength and dimensional stability
