About TLIF Cage
The TLIF Cage from Advin Health Care is engineered to provide stable support and facilitate spinal fusion in transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion procedures. Its design allows for precise placement, optimal load distribution, and restoration of intervertebral height. Constructed from durable, corrosion-resistant materials, it offers long-term stability and patient safety. Compatible with standard spinal instrumentation, the TLIF Cage is an essential implant for effective trauma orthopedic management of the lumbar spine.
Advanced Features:
- Designed for transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) procedures
- Restores disc height and maintains spinal alignment
- High-quality biocompatible construction for strength and durability
- Corrosion-resistant for long-term reliability
- Compatible with standard spinal instrumentation
Optimal Design for Spinal StabilityFeaturing a banana/curved wedge shape and textured surface, the TLIF Cage enables secure intervertebral body fusion with enhanced bone integration. Its precise anatomical design maintains disc height and supports spinal loads during recovery, ensuring structural stability after implantation.
Advanced Materials and Radiologic VisibilityManufactured from PEEK, the cage is both biocompatible and radiolucent, with embedded tantalum X-ray markers for accurate positioning and alignment verification. This unique combination supports MRI compatibility and facilitates postoperative monitoring without imaging artifacts.
Safe, Sterile, and Ready for SurgeryEach TLIF Cage arrives EO sterilized, individually blister-packed, and intended for single use, ensuring optimal sterility and patient safety in the operating room.

FAQs of TLIF Cage:
Q: How is the TLIF Cage used in spinal fusion surgery?
A: The TLIF Cage is implanted between lumbar vertebral bodies during transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) procedures. It is inserted via a posterior or transforaminal approach, serving as an intervertebral spacer to maintain disc height, support spinal loads, and encourage bone fusion with graft material.
Q: What are the key benefits of the TLIF Cages design and materials?
A: The devices PEEK construction ensures biocompatibility, radiolucency, and MRI compatibility, while its textured, hollow structure promotes bone integration and fusion. Tantalum markers aid alignment during X-ray imaging, offering high placement precision and improved surgical outcomes.
Q: When should the TLIF Cage be used during spinal surgery?
A: The TLIF Cage is specifically utilized during transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion procedures, usually for patients requiring stabilization due to conditions like degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, or recurrent herniated discs where spinal fusion is indicated.
Q: Where is the TLIF Cage manufactured and supplied?
A: The TLIF Cage is manufactured, exported, and supplied by qualified providers in India. It is available globally and comes individually blister-packed to maintain hygiene and sterility until use.
Q: What is the process for inserting the TLIF Cage?
A: The cage is implanted manually using standard surgical instruments through a posterior or transforaminal surgical approach. Bone graft material can be packed into its hollow center before insertion. Tantalum markers assist in aligning the cage under fluoroscopy or X-ray guidance.
Q: Can the TLIF Cage be safely used in MRI and X-ray imaging?
A: Yes, the PEEK material is radiolucent and MRI compatible, while tantalum markers embedded in the device facilitate safe and accurate position verification through X-ray imaging, without causing artifacts in scans.
Q: How should the TLIF Cage be stored prior to use?
A: The TLIF Cage should be kept in its original, sterile blister packaging and stored in a clean, dry environment at room temperature. Its five-year shelf life ensures reliability and sterility up to the expiration date.
