Titanium Sprayed Fusion Device Facilitates Osseointegration

A new fusion device has been specifically designed for situations where polyether ether ketone (PEEK) alone may not provide the best setting for fusion.

The TyPEEK interbody fusion devices are a novel solution for fusion procedures that combines the properties of Titanium plasma spray with the modulus of PEEK. The proprietary highly roughened surface can provide a more favorable environment for early stability, and the potential to promote intimate osseointegration between bone and implant. The devices include configurations for anterior cervical, anterior lumbar, posterior lumbar, oblique lumbar, transforaminal lumbar, and direct lateral interbody fusions.


Benefits of the fusion devices include anatomical endplate contact, a large graft window, a PEEK-Optima Core, and simple instrumentation for placement with a retractor system. Configurations include multiple height options, multiple lordotic angels, and multiple length and width options. The TyPEEK interbody fusion devices are products of Tyber Medical (Morristown, NJ, USA), and have received the European Community CE marking of approval.

“The Tyber Medical Interbody portfolio offers our customers immediate access to a regulatory approved system, ranging from economical nonsterile PEEK to our highly differentiated proprietary Titanium Plasma Sprayed TyPEEK,” said Jeff Tyber, CEO of Tyber Medical. “We are excited to give the versatility and customization of choice back to our customer, with the option to purchase a full system solution or an a la carte selection; trays, instrument, or implant.”
