The VLIFT Stryker Spine System is intended for vertebral body or entire vertebral body replacement. It is for use in the thoracolumbar spine (T1-L5) to replace a damaged or unstable vertebra or vertebra during total and partial corpectomy and vertebrectomy procedures due to tumor or trauma (eg, fracture). The VLIFT system is intended for use with supplemental internal fixation (END CAP), as well as supplemental systems that may be used with VLIFT, including plates and screw systems, and the use of bone grafts is optional with the VLIFT system.
The VLIFT® Vertebral Body Replacement System consists of a Distractible In Situ (DIS) implant, which enables the surgeon to customize the height of the implant after implantation. Extensions (if needed) and modular end caps snap into each end of the implant for quick assembly.
The end caps are available in 0° or with angulation to match either the lordosis or kyphosis of the spinal segment. The implants, extensions, and end caps are composed of titanium alloy.
