PILF PEEK Cage Instrument Set

Specification

Description

The PILF (PLIF) PEEK Cage Instrument Set is a specialized spinal surgical instrument system designed to support Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (PLIF) procedures using PEEK cages. It enables surgeons to perform precise disc space preparation, cage sizing, insertion, and positioning within the lumbar spine.
This instrument set typically includes trial implants, reamers, curettes, distractors, cage holders, and inserters, all organized in a sterilizable tray. It is engineered to facilitate accurate placement of PEEK cages, which act as interbody spacers to restore disc height and promote spinal fusion.

Advantages

Procedure-specific design (PLIF/PILF): Optimized for posterior lumbar interbody fusion workflows
Comprehensive instrument coverage: Includes trials, reamers, curettes, and inserters for full surgical steps
Precision cage placement: Dedicated distractors and inserters improve accuracy and reduce risk of malposition
Enhanced surgical efficiency: Organized tray system streamlines intraoperative workflow
Supports PEEK cage systems: Compatible with multiple cage sizes for anatomical variation
Durable reusable materials: Typically made from medical-grade stainless steel for repeated sterilization

Application

Posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) procedures
Degenerative disc disease
Lumbar spinal stenosis
Spondylolisthesis
Disc space reconstruction and spinal stabilization
Orthopedic and neurosurgical spine operations

FAQ

Q1: What is the role of this instrument set in PLIF surgery?
A1: It provides all necessary tools for disc removal, endplate preparation, cage sizing, and precise insertion of PEEK cages to achieve spinal fusion.
Q2: What instruments are typically included?
A2: Common components include trials, reamers, curettes, distractors, cage holders, inserters, and bone graft tools.
Q3: Why are PEEK cages used with this system?
A3: PEEK cages offer good biomechanical strength, biocompatibility, and radiolucency, helping maintain disc height and allowing postoperative imaging assessment.
