Product Description
The set features specialized inserters that securely grip the cage while providing an internal channel for the expansion driver, allowing the surgeon to expand the implant without detaching the tool.
Includes calibrated torque drivers that prevent over-expansion of the cage, protecting the vertebral endplates from iatrogenic fracture and ensuring the internal gears of the titanium cage are not stripped.
The set provides a series of specialized rasps and scrapers designed to prepare the vertebral endplates specifically for expandable footprints, maximizing the surface area for bone graft contact.
Expansion drivers are laser-etched with millimeter markings, providing real-time visual feedback on the height of the cage as it is being adjusted within the disc space.
Indicated for anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion (ACCF). The set provides the micro-sized expansion tools necessary for restoring height in the delicate cervical region following a vertebral body removal.
Used in the stabilization of the mid-back after tumor resection or trauma. The instruments are designed with a long-reach profile to navigate the thoracic cavity and provide rigid anterior column support.
The primary indication for large-footprint expandable cages. These tools allow for the restoration of lumbar lordosis and disc height through minimally invasive corridors, reducing the need for aggressive distraction.
Applied in focal segmental reconstructions where a custom-height cage is needed to fill an irregular bone void caused by infection (osteomyelitis) or severe osteoporotic collapse.

The Expandable Titanium Cage Instrument Set is a sophisticated collection of surgical tools designed for the delivery and adjustment of "smart" spinal spacers. Unlike static cages, expandable cages are inserted at a low height and then expanded in situ. This instrument set provides the mechanical interface required to actuate the internal expansion mechanism of the cage. It includes the trial spacers used to size the initial gap, the inserter that holds the collapsed cage, and the specialized drivers that rotate the internal screws to lift the cage to its final, customized height.
This set is applied in advanced spinal fusion procedures, particularly where restoration of lordosis and height is difficult with standard implants. It is used in TLIF (Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion) and Corpectomy cases. The tools allow the surgeon to insert the cage through a smaller, safer corridor and then expand it to fit the patient’s unique anatomy perfectly. This application is vital for achieving optimal disc space tension, which is necessary to keep the cage in place and promote a successful fusion environment.
The primary advantage of the TOOLMED set is its "continuous feedback" engineering. The expansion drivers are designed to transmit the resistance of the bone back to the surgeon's hand, allowing for a more controlled expansion. Furthermore, the use of high-strength 17-4PH stainless steel ensures that the small, intricate tips of the expansion drivers do not strip or break under the high forces required to lift a vertebral body. The modular tray design also ensures that all necessary preparation and locking tools are within reach, streamlining the most complex part of the surgery.
Biomechanically, these instruments are designed to respect the Wolff’s Law of bone growth. By using the torque-limiting drivers included in the set, the surgeon can ensure that the cage is expanded just enough to engage the cortical bone of the endplates without causing subsidence (sinking). The inserters are designed to maintain the axial alignment of the cage during expansion, ensuring that the force is distributed evenly across the endplate, which is essential for long-term mechanical stability and successful osseointegration.
The surgical technique begins with the total removal of disc or vertebral material. The disc space is measured using the starting-height trials. The collapsed expandable cage is attached to the dual-function inserter and placed into the gap. The expansion driver is then passed through the inserter to engage the internal mechanism. The surgeon expands the cage until the desired height or lordosis is reached, monitored by fluoroscopy. Finally, a specialized locking tool is used to secure the expansion mechanism, and the inserter is detached.
Postoperative care of the set involves a rigorous sterilization protocol. Because the inserters and drivers contain internal lumens and moving parts, they must be flushed with enzymatic solutions and cleaned using ultrasonic technology to remove all biological debris. The gear-actuation tips must be inspected under magnification for any signs of metal fatigue. After cleaning, the moving joints are lubricated with medical-grade lubricant and steam-autoclaved at 134°C. Proper maintenance is critical for the delicate mechanical tolerances required for the next procedure.
The TOOLMED Expandable Titanium Cage Instrument Set is a premier choice for modern spinal reconstruction. By providing the mechanical precision and safety features required for adjustable implants, this set empowers surgeons to achieve anatomical restoration with a high level of accuracy and minimal patient trauma.
Yes, while optimized for titanium, the interface of our expansion drivers is compatible with any cage system that utilizes a standard hex or star-drive internal gear mechanism.
The set includes a torque-limiting handle that will "click" and release once the safe maximum expansion force is reached, preventing damage to the bone or the cage.
No, we strictly recommend manual expansion to ensure the surgeon has the necessary tactile feedback to avoid endplate damage. The set is designed for manual use only.
Yes, we include a specialized graft delivery system that allows you to pack bone graft into the center of the cage even after it has been fully expanded in the disc space.
Standard expandable sets are typically in stock. For custom inserter designs to match proprietary cage systems, the lead time is approximately 6–8 weeks.
We offer fast and reliable global shipping. Standard lead times range from 7 to 15 working days, depending on order quantity and customization requirements. Express delivery options are also available upon request.
