The radio-lucent open fusion system, including the MC+® and ROI products provides a wide array of intraoperative options and exclusive technical characteristics.

Intraoperative flexibility
The MC+® implant range offers the surgeon a large degree of intraoperative flexibility.

Options
There are two types of MC+® implants available; Open and Closed. The self-retaining anchoring clip can be used with both types.

Reliability
Independent testing completed by several laboratories, including Orthopaedic Research Laboratories, confirms the reliability of the ROI & MC+ implants as intervertebral body replacement devices.

Stable and anatomic
Both the MC+® and the ROI designs aim to facilitate the restoration of normal anatomy and attainment of excellent primary stability.

Graft and fusion
The quality and contact surface of the graft are essential for the success of arthrodeses.

Radiolucency and safety
The use of PEEKOptima ®, an advanced polymeric biomaterial with an extensive track record in fusion applications is ideal for follow-up and control.

Sterility and traceability
Optimized management: sterile packaging of implants allows immediate usage upon delivery, without any additional processing. Daily management of implants is therefore simplified.

 

Intraoperative Flexibility

Anchoring clip
A self-retaining anchor increases the primary stabilization of the implant. It is impacted through the PVBR into the upper end-plate of the inferior vertebra.

• Its unique and patented design allows the anchoring clip to be self-retained in the PVBR implant.
• The placement of the anchor clip does not require any over-distraction since it is introduced after implantation of the PVBR. It is used only if the primary stability of the PVBR appears insufficient, thus providing a unique modularity.
• The anchor is guided by means of the implant holder (30° in relation to the endplate). A safety-stop on the implant holder helps to ensure proper positioning.

Options

Two components, four different constructs
The MC+® offers intraoperative flexibility by providing four different options:
• Use of a closed or open implant
• Use of autologous bone
• With or without the Anchoring Clip 

• Supplemental graft may be introduced after the Open PVBR has been implanted.
• The increased peripheral weight bearing area and serrated profile on the Closed PVBR further enhances the primary stability of the implant.

Stable and Anatomic
 

Anatomical by design
• The anatomic shape of the MC+® implant (with its upper convex part in the frontal and sagittal planes) allows the closest contact between the end-plate bone and the implant, thus enhancing load-bearing of the graft or bone substitute and facilitating the arthrodesis.
• The large peripheral weight bearing surface of the implant increases primary stability and allows immediate loading.

A concept aimed at stability
• As soon as MC+® and ROI PVBR are placed, the serrated profile of the implants ensures their self-retaining properties, until fusion is achieved.

Radiolucency and consistency
• The biocompatibility and mechanical qualities of PEEK-Optima® are largely recognized in fusion applications.
• PEEK-Optima® has an elasticity close to that of bone so that there is no graft weight-bearing problem. There is consequently, a biomechanical consistency between two spine segments, the fusion of which can be assessed radiographically.

Safety
• The MC+® and ROI PVBR are implanted according to a reproducible operating technique.
• The serrated profile of the implant ensures their self-retaining properties, until fusion takes place.
