Step 1 – Corpectomy

Access the targeted anatomy from an
anterior approach and perform a
complete or partial corpectomy as
required by the pathology.

Due to potential risk of neural injury in the cervical spine, use of fluoroscopy and/or
neuromonitoring during cervical procedure is recommended.

Remove the superficial layers of the
entire cartilaginous endplates and
expose bleeding bone while preserving
the integrity of the endplates.

Incorrect preparation of the endplates increase the risk factor of subsidence, careful attention
should be given to endplate preparation prior to insertion of the device.

Step 2 – Implant Height

Measurement

Use the caliper to determine the implant
height taking the height correction into
account.
