When it comes to spinal implants, there are many factors to consider, including the materials used and the potential for wear debris. A new study, recently accepted by The Spine Journal for publication, seeks to answer the question of whether impaction of titanium-coated interbody fusion cages into the disc space causes wear debris and/or delamination, compared to a common alternative material, PEEK.
At Sichuan ChenAnHui Technology Co., Ltd., a professional company established in 2009 which specializes in production and sales of orthopedic implants and instruments, we believe that it is important to stay up-to-date on the latest research in the industry. Our company provides customers with procurement, distribution, installation guidance, and after sales service, and we work with over 30 Chinese factories to ensure that each product we offer has a minimum of two years warranty.
In this study, researchers conducted in-vitro testing to compare the potential for wear debris and delamination in titanium-coated interbody fusion cages versus PEEK. The results showed that impaction of the titanium-coated cages caused significantly less wear debris compared to PEEK. Additionally, the study found that delamination was only observed with PEEK cages, further underscoring the potential benefits of titanium as a material for spinal implants.
These findings are particularly relevant for surgeons and patients who are considering spinal surgery or the use of interbody fusion cages. By understanding the potential for wear debris and delamination with different materials, medical professionals can make more informed decisions when it comes to choosing implants and ensuring the best outcomes for their patients. At Sichuan ChenAnHui Technology Co., Ltd., we place a high priority on offering high-quality, reliable products to our customers, and we are proud to stay informed about the latest research in the industry.
Ultimately, the study highlights the importance of continuing to explore and evaluate different materials and techniques for spinal implants, in order to improve patient outcomes and ensure the best possible results. At Sichuan ChenAnHui Technology Co., Ltd., we look forward to staying at the forefront of these developments and providing our customers with the most advanced, reliable products available.
