The FDA granted marketing clearance for Icotec’s BlackArmor interbody cages used for lumbar procedures.

The cages are designed to improve bony integration and post-operative visualization, and the clearance applies to a variety of surgical approaches including cervical and lumbar procedures.

The device’s material consists of continuous carbon fibers combined with polyether ether ketone (PEEK), an organic thermoplastic polymer, allowing consistent orientation of the carbon fibers for strength and mechanical durability.
