POSEIDON ST
 from Signus

The structured endplates of the POSEIDON ST implant provide the bone with an ideal ‘anchor’ for ingrowth of blood vessels and bone cells.

Promotional feature

‘ST’ – Structural Titanium – is an open-pore titanium grid structure with anatomic parameters to optimise inter-corporeal fusion.

The POSEIDON ST implant from Signus is made of the proven material titanium (Ti-6Al-4V).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Porous implants have become the standard for endoprostheses thanks to the good to very good fusion results achieved.3 With our vertebral body replacement implant POSEIDON® ST, we embrace this concept for the spine. The endplates of POSEIDON® ST are made of a titanium grid structure with a defined pore design that mimics the architecture of natural bone. The interconnection between the pores ensures optimal oxygen and nutrient supply, creating the optimal foundation for osseointegration. The endplates of POSEIDON® ST also provide the ideal foundation for optimal growth behaviour: 70 % of the endplates consist of pores.

The roughness of the implant – in addition to the toothed endplate design that has been tried and tested by SIGNUS – optimises the primary stability and counteracts migration of the implant. In addition, the lateral surfaces are embedded in a smooth frame to minimise the required preparation and to protect nerve structures during implantation.

ST Line advantages

  • Greater contact area thanks to the defined surface topology
    – Secure anchorage in the bone due to high primary stability
    – Reduced risk of implant migration
  • Open, macroporous titanium structure
    – Resembles natural cancellous architecture
    – Enables not only attachment of bone but also osseointegration
  • 70 % pores
    – Little foreign material – more room for fusion
    – Optimised visibility in the image converter
