The device is intended for use in anterior cervical fusion procedures to treat a variety of spinal pathologies.
Unlike other implants comprised of porous metal or metal coating, Cohere’s three-dimensional porous surface was specifically created to optimize bone formation on a cellular level and form a strong interface with the bone.
Since there is no metal in the implant, the device also allows for clearer visualization of the fusion site through medical imaging.
Dr. Frank Phillips, MD, performed one of the first implantations of the device at Rush University in Chicago. He will present new data on the benefits of Cohere’s porosity technology at the State of Spine Surgery Annual Symposium on June 30 in Los Cabos, Mexico.
