Three Core Advantages of the Anterior Interbody Cage Instrument Set
Integrated Self-Locking Stability Design
The anterior lumbar interbody fusion plate provides secure self-locking fixation across the fused level, so no additional auxiliary fixation is required in stand-alone ALIF procedures.
Enhanced Lordosis Correction & Sagittal Balance Restoration
The ALIF cage footprint supports powerful lumbar lordosis correction and precise reconstruction of spinal sagittal alignment across the treated level.
Large Contact Surface for Anti-Migration Stability
An enlarged cage-to-endplate contact area helps reduce migration and subsidence, ensuring reliable interbody fusion stability over the follow-up period.
ALIF Instrument Set Product Details & Disc Space Preparation
Every instrument in the anterior interbody cage instrument set is matched to a step of the anterior lumbar interbody fusion workflow — from endplate preparation through to final cage and plate insertion.
Four Steps of Endplate & Disc Space Preparation
1 Endplate Preparation for Fusion Remove cartilage and residual nucleus pulposus tissue with the curette set to expose healthy bone surfaces and enhance bone graft contact.
2 Confirm Adequate Endplate Preparation Use the bone rasp until punctate bleeding appears, indicating proper preparation for bone integration and fusion.
3 Nucleus Pulposus Rongeur Use the graduated nucleus pulposus rongeur to remove residual nucleus pulposus tissue with controlled depth marking.
4 Disc Space Preparation Proper disc preparation improves implant fit and supports restoration of disc height and spinal alignment before cage insertion.
What the ALIF Cage Instrument Set Includes
✓ Curette Set for Endplate PreparationCurved and straight curettes sized for lumbar endplate debridement, exposing healthy bone surfaces for interbody fusion.
✓ Bone Rasp for Fusion Bed PreparationSupports controlled decortication until punctate bleeding is confirmed, improving bone graft contact and integration.
✓ Graduated Nucleus Pulposus RongeurAngled rongeur with depth graduations for controlled removal of residual nucleus pulposus tissue from the disc space.
✓ Trial Cages for Footprint SizingMatching trials let the surgeon confirm ALIF cage height and footprint against the prepared disc space before final implantation.
✓ Plate Holding & Screw Insertion InstrumentsDedicated instruments for anterior lumbar interbody fusion plate positioning and Φ5.5 locking screw delivery.

Clinical Indications for Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion
The anterior interbody cage instrument set supports stand-alone ALIF, ALIF combined with posterior pedicle screw fixation, and multilevel reconstruction alongside OLIF, PLIF or TLIF procedures.
Stand-Alone ALIF
Lumbar Degenerative Disc Disease
Anterior interbody fusion support for single-level degenerative disease in the lower lumbar spine.
Lumbar Disc Herniation with Disc Height Loss
Restores lost disc height through an ALIF cage while the fusion plate stabilises the treated level.
Mild to Moderate Lumbar Instability
Supports stand-alone anterior stabilisation where the fusion plate provides all required fixation.
ALIF + Posterior Pedicle Screw Fixation
High-Grade Lumbar Spondylolisthesis
Combined anterior and posterior fixation for high-grade slippage requiring additional support.
Severe Lumbar Instability
Hybrid construct combining the interbody fusion plate with posterior pedicle screw instrumentation.
Osteoporotic Spine with Poor Fixation Stability
Adds an anterior load-sharing support to constructs where posterior fixation alone is insufficient.
Combined OLIF / PLIF / TLIF Procedures
Multilevel Lumbar Deformity
Supports multilevel anterior interbody fusion as part of a staged deformity correction plan.
Adult Degenerative Scoliosis
Anterior column support for adult degenerative scoliosis reconstruction levels.
Sagittal Imbalance Correction
Used where lumbar lordosis restoration and sagittal balance reconstruction are treatment goals.

ALIF Cage, Interbody Fusion Plate & Φ5.5 Locking Screw Specifications
The system combines three implant components — an ALIF PEEK cage, an anterior lumbar interbody fusion plate and Φ5.5 locking screws — delivered together with the matching lumbar fusion instrument tray.
ALIF Cage
PEEK interbody fusion cage implanted in the prepared disc space to restore disc height, support lumbar lordosis correction and provide the anterior load-bearing column.
Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion Plate
Low-profile anterior plate that locks the interbody construct in place and delivers the self-locking stability associated with this ALIF cage system.
Φ5.5 Locking Screw
Φ5.5 locking screw dedicated to the anterior lumbar interbody fusion plate, securing the plate to the vertebral bodies across the fused level.

Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion Instrument Set & Operative Workflow
The lumbar fusion instruments are organised in a double-layer tray so the surgical team can move through the ALIF workflow without leaving the field — preparation, trialling, cage insertion, plate placement and locking screw fixation.
![Anterior lumbar interbody fusion instrument set laid out in an open double-layer sterilization tray]()
Clinical Efficiency Advantages
A single tray carries every instrument required for the ALIF procedure, reducing instrument handling and set-up time in the operating room.
Patient Recovery Benefits
Anterior access avoids posterior muscle dissection, and enlarged cage-to-endplate contact supports stable interbody fusion and sagittal alignment.
Economic Cost Advantages
Implants and instruments are supplied as one configured set, simplifying stock management and reducing the number of separate instrument purchases.
Broad Clinical Applicability
Supports stand-alone ALIF as well as hybrid constructs combined with OLIF, PLIF or TLIF and posterior pedicle screw fixation.
Excellent Long-Term Outcomes
Self-locking plate fixation and anti-migration cage geometry are designed to limit subsidence and maintain the corrected sagittal profile.

Request ALIF Solution FAQ About the Anterior Interbody Cage Instrument Set
What is included in the anterior interbody cage instrument set?
The set covers the full ALIF workflow: an ALIF PEEK cage, an anterior lumbar interbody fusion plate and Φ5.5 locking screws, together with curettes, bone rasps, nucleus pulposus rongeur, trial cages, plate holders and screw insertion instruments in a double-layer sterilization tray.
Can the fusion plate be used without posterior fixation?
Yes. The self-locking design of the interbody fusion plate supports stand-alone ALIF in appropriately selected cases, and it can also be combined with posterior pedicle screw fixation for high-grade spondylolisthesis or severe instability.
Which lumbar conditions is the ALIF cage system indicated for?
Typical indications include lumbar degenerative disc disease, lumbar disc herniation with disc height loss, mild to moderate lumbar instability, high-grade spondylolisthesis, adult degenerative scoliosis and multilevel lumbar deformity requiring sagittal imbalance correction.
What material are the lumbar fusion instruments made of?
Instruments are made of medical-grade stainless steel, with 630, 465, 420B and X15TN stainless steel recommended for high hardness and toughness. Components are precision machined by CNC turning, milling and wire EDM, then polished, sandblasted or oxidised for consistent finish.
Is the instrument set supplied in a sterilization tray?
Yes. The instruments are organised in a double-layer perforated stainless steel sterilization tray with dedicated silicone holders, so the set can be sterilised, transported and presented in the operating room in one unit.
Does XC Medico provide the anterior interbody cage instrument set under OEM/ODM?
Yes. OEM and ODM support covers compatible ALIF cage and fusion plate configurations, locking screws, instrument set composition, private labelling and packaging for distributor and medical device company projects.
