Valeo® AL • Lumbar Spacer


The Valeo ALIF Spacer is made of a silicon nitride, a proven material in high performance applications such as jet engines and race cars, where strength, durability and reliability are crucial. Implants are manufactured under very precise conditions at the molecular, micro and macro levels to create silicon nitride implants that are robust, fracture tough, hydrophilic and conducive to bony apposition.

Amedica Corporation is the only company in the world with the technology and state-of-the-art facility to design and produce medical grade silicon nitride — technology that’s incorporated into the patented Valeo Line. Each implant is inspected to ensure the highest quality, and is shipped individually packaged and operating room ready.

Features


Three footprints: 39x30mm, 36x28mm and 30x24mm and three lordotic angles: 4, 8, and 12 degrees • 10-17mm sizes to restore disc height • Large dovetail insertion feature for precise control and maneuverability • Central cavity maximized for autograft packing material to create fusion through the implant • Knurls resist migration and provide immediate stability
  • MC² Silicon Nitride technology
  • Texturing increases surface area for bony apposition
  • Hydrophilic material has a negative surface chemistry which provides an excellent environment for cell proliferation
  • Exceptional imaging properties for precise intra-operative positioning of implant
  • Clear observation of implant-endplate interface
  • No artifacts with MRI or CT imaging for clear post-op assessment
  • Nearly 20x stronger than PEEK (data on file)
