How Stryker is Growing Its 3-D Printing Options

Stryker has introduced a 3-D printed spinal cage designed to promote bone ingrowth and lumbar fixation for patients with degenerative disc disease.

The Tritanium PL Cage, cleared by FDA earlier this year, is constructed of a highly porous titanium alloy designed to mimic cancellous bone, a type of spongy bone tissue. It is indicated for use as an adjunct to fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease at one level or two contiguous levels from L2 to S1, and for patients diagnosed with degenerative scoliosis. Stryker’s Spine Division introduced the device at the American Association of Neurological Surgeons Annual Meeting this week in Chicago.
