8 - 12 mm 9 - 13 mm 10 - 15 mm 11 - 15 mm 12 - 17 mm
What are the two Caliber sagittal profiles?
4 degrees
15 degrees
On the 10-15mm implant, how many turns of the torque limiting driver indicate 1mm of expansion?
1.25 turns
What are the available implant widths?
10 mm
12 mm
What are the available implant lengths?
22 mm
26 mm
30 mm
What are three benefits of Caliber?
- Reduce impaction
- Continuous expansion
- Optimized fit
- Easier revisions
What are the adjustable trial dimensions?
10W x 26L
What are the expansion ranges for the lordotic option?
10 - 18 mm
What is the expansion range for the parallel option?
7-15 mm
What’s the purpose of the torque limit on the trial and implant?
Prevent damage to the implant or trial
How far are the radiographic markers from the edge of the implant?
- 5 mm from the front or back
1. 5 mm from the side
How far out does the screw sit when the implant is fully collapsed?
3 mm
Name three competitive cages
Spine Wave StaXx XD
Adv. Med. Wave PLIF cage
CoAlign AccuLIF-TL
Is it okay to impact on the insertion handle?
Yes.
Is it okay to impact on the Hex Driver?
No.
What are the two Inserter Fork sizes?
10 mm
12 mm
List the Set screw revolutions required for 1mm expansion of each of the ranges:
8-12mm : 1.5 rev
9-13mm : 1.5 rev
10-15mm : 1.25 rev
11-15mm : 1.5 rev
12-17mm : 1.25 rev
Why won’t the implant collapse?
The screw threads are not directly loaded by compressive forces, thus preventing movement of endplates.
There is additional resistance between the ramp screw and actuator provided by the 3 PEEK inserts in the ramp screw.
