NGage Surgical Mesh System

Product Description

The NGage™ Surgical Mesh System provides unsurpassed modularity in a straightforward design. Blackstone Medical offers the optimal mesh solution by combining strength with an easily-trimmable system. The NGage Surgical Mesh system: extensive end plate coverage, sure-footed fixation and a host of implant options for you and your patients.

Indication

The NGage Medical Surgical Titanium Mesh System is indicated for use in the thoraco-lumbar spine (T1-L5) to replace a diseased vertebral body resected or excised for the treatment of tumors, to achieve anterior decompression of the spinal cord and neural tissues and to restore the height of a collapsed vertebral body. The Surgical Titanium mesh is also indicated for treating fractures of the thoracic and lumbar spine.

The Surgical Titanium Mesh System is designed to restore the bio-mechanical integrity of the anterior, middle, and posterior spinal column even in the absence of fusion for a prolonged period. It is recommended to pack bone graft material inside the mesh cage prior to implantation.

The Surgical Titanium Mesh System is intended for use with supplemental internal fixation. The supplemental internal fixation system that may be used with the Surgical Titanium Mesh System is the Blackstone Medical Spinal Fixation System.
