FILICUDI

Cervical 3D Printed Titanium Facet Joint Fusion

FILICUDI – The minimally invasive alternative for patients with cervical nerve canal stenosis and nerve root compression!

Innovative approach, percutaneous and gentle! The surgical approach requires only one or two small incisions at the base of the patient’s neck. The pressure on the nerve roots is first reduced by distracting the facet joints. 3D printed titanium cages are then inserted to stabilize the joints (CE-certified and applicable in the C1-C7 range).

Benefits:

Low rate of complications and reduced blood loss
Significant improvement in symptoms as early as two weeks after procedure
Mobility and functionality return quickly
No risk of dysphagia and dysphonia
Intervertebral discs and bone structure are preserved
Patients recover quickly after the operation
Shorter hospital stay

Excellent Stability

Additive manufacturing technology in combination with a unique geometrical implant design facilitates efficient and reliable primary and secondary fixation.

The unique “net” structure provides strong primary fixation and eliminates the risk of implant migration. The elasticity modulus of the implant is similar to PEEK alternatives and close to natural bone characteristics, which is the key success factor of bone ingrowth.

Secondary fixation is supported by fast and effective osteointegration.
