BlackArmor® Carbon/PEEK: Specifically for Tumors, Flexible Application
Icotec implants made of innovative BlackArmor® Carbon/PEEK overcome spinal disorder treatment limitations, particularly in the fight against spine tumors.
The radiolucent and artifact-free BlackArmor® Carbon/PEEK offers clear benefits: improved perioperative management, increased local tumor control, and expanded diagnostic and therapeutic options.
VADER® Pedicle System – State-of-the-Art Pedicle Screw System Made of BlackArmor® Carbon/PEEK
The VADER® Pedicle System is specifically designed for the treatment of thoracolumbar spinal tumors, offering reliable stabilization and precise fixation of the spine to limit or eliminate mobility through posterior or anterior approaches.
Its advanced design ensures excellent radiolucency for artifact-free imaging, supporting accurate diagnostics. The Ti-iT® titanium coating promotes strong osseointegration, enhancing long-term implant stability.
With a familiar implant geometry and trusted instrumentation, the system supports modern surgical techniques and seamless integration into clinical practice.
Benefits and Characteristics

- Protection of organs at risk
Rapid osseointegration and reliable stabilizationFixation of the spine in a designated position to minimize or eliminate mobility
Ti-iT® titanium coating
State-of-the-art surgical technique
Optimal stabilizationFixation of the spine in a designated position to minimize or eliminate mobility (using posterior or anterior measures) even with low bone quality due to cement augmentation
Reliable instrumentation
Low burden for patients due to percutaneous accessMinimally invasive surgery using instrumentation through the skin; e.g., percutaneous placement of pedicle screws
Reduced blood loss and tissue damage
Earlier start of adjuvant radiation therapyTherapeutic treatment of a disease by means of ionizing radiation
Potentially shorter clinic stay
