Product Description

The manufacture of TTA Rapid cages has only been made possible with advances in materials and manufacturing technology. The cages are made by an additive manufacturing (AM) 3D printing process known as selective laser sintering (SLS).

Features & Benefits

• Titanium is very biocompatible, MRI compatible and typically needs to be inoculated with 10 times as many infectious units for an implant associated infection to develop when compared to stainless steel
• Reduced morbidity and biological cost that may be associated with the dissection and placement of additional implants
• Reduced potential for cold conduction with superficially sited metallic implants
• Fewer additional holes created in the tibial diaphysis which may contribute to crack propagation and failure of the tibial shaft
• Metals of different electro-potentials are avoided in the same construct
• Simplified inventory management
• Potential time savings in the placement of implants
