The ATHLET VBR System is a lordotic, modular vertebral body replacement system. Caudal and cranial components are offered in a variety of heights and are assembled to create a device construct. An intermediate component is also available and is used between one caudal and one cranial component. The device construct comprises a central cannula for bone graft and lateral fenestrations for bony in-growth.
A small implantable sheet of solid material that is attached to the spine with screws for spinal immobilization and is made of a material that is not chemically degraded or absorbed via natural body processes (includes implant grade metal such as surgical steel, titanium alloy, or carbon fibre). The device is typically used to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in the treatment of various spinal instabilities or deformities (e.g., during anterior/posterior cervical, anterior/posterior lumbar, thoracolumbar, and occipital fixation procedures).
