This is a technical overview of an INVAMED device within the neuro, spine & cranial portfolio. Which implants and approach are appropriate is determined by the operating neurosurgeon or spine surgeon based on the pathology and anatomy. As a medical device manufacturer, INVAMED develops technologies in this area; the information here is educational and not medical advice.
Background: Neurosurgical Fixation and Spinal Decompression
Which implants and approach are appropriate is determined by the operating neurosurgeon or spine surgeon based on the pathology and anatomy. Neurosurgical fixation restores and stabilizes bone after procedures on the skull and spine, using implants chosen for biocompatibility and imaging compatibility. In the spine, pedicle screw and rod systems provide rigid fixation to stabilize segments, correct alignment, or support fusion.
NeuroFill Stabilizator Agent: Overview
Stabilizer agent used in orthopedic and spinal surgeries to strengthen screw retention and intervertebral implant grip (per invamed.com content surfaced via search index; listed as an INVAMED Research & Development product).
How It Works and Where It Fits
INVAMED's neuro, spine, and cranial line spans cranial fixation, pedicle-screw stabilization, interbody fusion, and adjunct agents used in these procedures. Intraoperative neuromonitoring tracks nerve and spinal cord signals during surgery to help the team detect changes that could indicate risk to neural structures. Pedicle screws anchor into the vertebral pedicles and connect to rods to provide rigid spinal fixation for stabilization, alignment correction, or fusion support.
Key Considerations
- Interbody cage material and dimensions are matched to the disc space, desired lordosis, and fusion strategy.
- Pedicle-screw trajectory accuracy is important to remain within the bony pedicle, motivating the use of fluoroscopy or navigation.
- Cranial implant material is chosen in part for imaging compatibility and low profile, with platinum and titanium being common options.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the INVAMED cranial plate called?
INVAMED's cranial fixation plate is the Stella Cranial Platinum Plate, a platinum plate used for craniotomy closure, skull reconstruction, and neurosurgical fixation.
Does INVAMED offer PEEK interbody cages?
Yes. INVAMED's spinal portfolio includes PEEK interbody fusion cages and cervical cages alongside its pedicle-screw and rod systems.
Who decides which spinal implant to use?
The operating spine surgeon selects implants based on the pathology and anatomy; this article is educational and not a treatment recommendation.

Clinical and Technical Context
Whether a patient is a candidate for disc decompression is determined by the treating clinician. Cranial implant material is chosen in part for imaging compatibility and low profile, with platinum and titanium being common options. Interbody fusion cages, often made of PEEK or titanium, are placed between vertebral bodies to restore disc height and promote bony fusion. Manufacturer descriptions, such as an anatomy-matched cranial plate fit, reflect design intent rather than guaranteed outcomes. Neurosurgical fixation restores and stabilizes bone after procedures on the skull and spine, using implants chosen for biocompatibility and imaging compatibility. All INVAMED neuro, spine, and cranial implants are intended for use by trained neurosurgical and spine surgical teams and per the IFU. INVAMED's SpineNav MIS Pedicle Screw System is positioned for pedicle-screw fixation, including minimally invasive placement, within the spinal line. Interbody cage material and dimensions are matched to the disc space, desired lordosis, and fusion strategy. INVAMED's neuro and spine FAQs describe percutaneous disc decompression using minimally invasive mechanical or radiofrequency techniques for contained herniations. INVAMED's Stella Cranial Platinum Plate is positioned for skull reconstruction and cranioplasty stabilization, with an anatomy-matched fit per the product content. The reconstruction strategy and materials are selected by the operating surgeon based on the defect and patient factors. Plate choice and configuration are determined by the neurosurgeon for the specific reconstruction.
