Frameless cervical cages made of color-coded Titanium

“The DEXA-C™ implant from Aurora Spine ushers in a new era of personalized spine surgery. This customization prevents implant subsidence and accelerates fusion even in healthy individuals. This will expand access to spine surgery for older patients who were previously excluded by poor bone quality.”
— Sebastian Koga, MD. FAANS

Evolution of Cervical Spine Interbodies

Machined Metal

  • Too rigid

  • Subsidence issues

  • Not for osteoporotic bone

PEEK

  • Osteo-phobic

  • Non-union

  • Bone doesn’t attach

Machined Bone

  • Supply issues

  • Disease transmission

  • Weak structure

Bone Chips

  • No structure

  • Disease transmission

  • Inconsistent

3D Printed Cages

  • Too rigid

  • Subsidence issues

  • Endplate fractures

Ti-Coated PEEK

  • Osteo-phobic

  • Osteo-conductive top & bottom only

All the positive elements in one patented device

Function

  • Achieve stability while maintaining flexibility to match the patient’s bone density

Enhanced Stability

  • High coefficient of friction, for more solid initial fixation

  • Reduced risk of migration & expulsion

Excellent Flexibility

  • Stiffnesses similar to normal, osteopenic, and osteoporotic endplates

  • Provides for more normal load transfer with the potential to minimize stress-shielding

The device profile is rectangular, with a hollow core to promote bone graft integration and fusion between the endplates.

The implant is available in various footprints and heights to accommodate patient variability and is manufactured from a titanium alloy per ASTM F3001.
