XC Expandable Titanium Cage

Cervical spondylotic myelopathy and related degenerative conditions are a primary clinical setting for this cage, used after anterior cervical corpectomy when a surgeon needs to fine-tune construct height and sagittal alignment in situ after positioning within the surgical corridor. Procurement governance matters here as much as clinical fit: NHS spine units evaluating expandable corpectomy reconstruction options need this cage stocked reliably across the confirmed size range and diameters, which is where Medigear.UK's role as a stocking supplier matters to tender decisions and theatre list planning. Medigear. u UK'ss role as a stocking supplier matters to tender decisions and theatre list planning.

Spinal tumour resection forms a second important clinical setting, where general clinical literature documents expandable titanium cages as an established reconstruction option following vertebral body removal for tumour, particularly where precise height restoration matters for spinal alignment and load distribution across the reconstructed segment.

Trauma and significant vertebral fracture represent a third important clinical setting, where a corpectomy may be required following severe vertebral body fracture, with an expandable cage allowing the surgeon to restore height and alignment incrementally during the procedure across cervical, thoracic, or lumbar levels of the spine.

Deformity and multilevel reconstruction make up a fourth important clinical setting, where the range of confirmed diameters and lengths supports varied anatomical requirements across a longer construct spanning multiple vertebral segments and levels. Medigear.uk supports single or small-quantity ordering of this cage alongside the larger bulk distributor accounts it also serves, so a specialist clinic is not required to commit to trust-scale volumes to access it for a single reconstruction procedure.

In-Situ Height Adjustment for Precise Reconstruction

Expandable cages of this kind are generally designed to be inserted at a reduced height and expanded in place, letting a surgeon fine-tune final height and alignment after positioning rather than before.

Thirteen Confirmed Size Combinations

Four diameters across three lengths, plus a larger standalone option, give procurement teams a broad confirmed range to match varied vertebral body defect dimensions.

Established Device Category with Published Clinical Literature

Expandable titanium vertebral body cages are a well-documented device category, with peer-reviewed literature reporting outcomes across cervical, thoracic, and lumbar corpectomy reconstruction.

Reduced Reliance on Large Structural Bone Grafts

General literature associates in-situ expansion with reduced need for large structural bone grafts compared with fixed-height reconstruction methods.

ISO 13485-Certified Manufacturing for Procurement Governance

XC's quality management system is certified to ISO 13485 at company level, giving hospital procurement teams and distributors a documented baseline to evaluate against tender requirements. Buyers should confirm CE marking status for this specific reference before submitting to formal procurement processes.

Compatible with Anterior Plate Systems

Expandable cages of this kind are often combined with a separate anterior plate for added stability, allowing Medigear.uk to supply a coordinated construct alongside the plate systems already covered elsewhere in this catalogue.

REF-Coded Ordering for Simplified Procurement

Each diameter and length combination is ordered under its own REF code, giving procurement teams a clear, unambiguous way to specify the exact cage needed against a surgeon's preoperative plan.

Small-Batch Ordering for Specialist Clinics and Independent Practices

Independent spine surgeons and smaller private surgical centres do not always need trust-scale order volumes, and Medigear.uk supports single or small-quantity purchasing of this cage alongside its larger distributor accounts.

12mm Diameter Across Three Lengths

Confirmed at 20mm, 28mm, and 35mm, suited to smaller vertebral body footprints.

14mm Diameter Across Three Lengths

Confirmed at 20mm, 28mm, and 35mm.

16mm Diameter Across Three Lengths

Confirmed at 20mm, 28mm, and 35mm.

18mm Diameter Across Three Lengths

Confirmed at 20mm, 28mm, and 35mm, the largest diameter within the systematic four-diameter grid.

Standalone 24×38mm Combination

The largest confirmed size, suited to larger vertebral body defects beyond the standard grid range.

Mechanically Distinct from XC's Titanium Mesh Cage

Uses in-situ expansion rather than the cut-to-length approach confirmed on XC's mesh cage, covered elsewhere in this catalogue.

Titanium Construction

The cage is manufactured from titanium, consistent with the biocompatibility and radiopacity generally associated with expandable vertebral body cages in clinical literature.

REF-Coded Ordering System

Each size combination carries its own REF code, giving an unambiguous way to specify the exact cage needed for a given order.

Dimension Interpretation Not Yet Confirmed

Whether the confirmed figures represent a fixed implanted size or a compressed-to-expanded range has not been established and should be checked with Medigear.uk.

Supports Sagittal Alignment Restoration

General literature associates in-situ expansion with improved ability to restore sagittal alignment compared with fixed-height reconstruction methods.

Compatible with Anterior Plate Systems

Generally used in combination with a separate anterior plate for additional construct stability, consistent with plate systems already covered elsewhere in this catalogue.

Covers Cervical Through Larger Reconstruction Needs

The confirmed diameter and length range, extending up to the standalone 24×38mm option, spans typical cervical through larger thoracolumbar reconstruction requirements.

The XC Expandable Titanium Cage is a titanium vertebral body replacement device confirmed across thirteen diameter and length combinations, four diameters from 12mm to 18mm each at three lengths plus a larger 24×38mm option, under REF codes beginning KTL, mechanically distinct from XC's static Titanium Mesh Cage covered elsewhere in this catalogue. It suits cervical spondylotic myelopathy, spinal tumour resection, trauma, and deformity or multilevel reconstruction, from primary hospital theatre work through to smaller private surgical centres. XC's ISO 13485-certified manufacturing gives procurement teams a documented baseline for evaluation, and general clinical literature broadly supports the expandable cage category. However, confirm CE marking status, the exact expansion mechanism, and whether the confirmed dimensions represent a fixed size or a range with Medigear.uk before tender.
