Bengal™ is a spinal implant made of radiolucent carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP), a material that has a modulus of elasticity approximating that of cortical bone. The result is an implant that meets the structural requirements of anterior column support, while optimizing the fusion environment through an open, load-sharing design.
