Unique Implants for Spinal Fusion

By HospiMedica staff writers
Posted on 11 Aug 2005
Partial vertebral body replacement systems (PVBRs) were developed by a team of neurologic and orthopedic surgeons to address unmet or underserved needs in the treatment of degenerative spine disease.

The MC+ and ROI systems feature a unique design that provides surgeons with a large grafting area--an important feature that enables placement of the implants--and weight-bearing surfaces on the strongest areas of the vertebral endplate. More...
The two systems offer many areas of differentiation in their design, material, instrumentation, and ease of use.

Both systems have been cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The systems were developed in France by LDR Medical (Troyes, France) with strong surgeon involvement. To date, they have been successfully used in more than 3,000 procedures. Both systems will be distributed in the United States by LDR's U.S. distribution partner, LDR Spine (Austin, TX, USA).

"Both systems have been well received by the surgeon community because of their simplified instrumentation,” said Steve Whitlock, president and CEO of LDR Spine. "We are the only spine company to individually package and sterilize our products. While the total joint market has long employed this approach, it is only a matter of time before all spine companies' products are also packaged and delivered this way.”
