The CarboClear VBR implant is made of carbon fibers, with integrated porous Ti-alloy endplates. Carbon fiber implants are proposing unique advantages to the oncological patients and their physicians. Among those advantages are: enhanced radiation therapy planning abilities, allowing radiation treatment to optimise the radiation dose to the tumoiur with minimal collateral tissue damage, and enhanced follow up abilities due to artifacts-free imaging.
Features:
- Spacer body: Made of Carbon Fiber reinforced polymer
- Spacer endplates: Made of Thin 3D printed titanium for optimal bone integration & to allow minimal artifacts in CT & MRI
- Unparalleled Fatigue Strength.
- Minimal Artifacts in CT/MRI
- Enhanced follow-up
- Enhanced radiation therapy administration
- Negligible backscattering and attenuation for optimal dosage
- Improved radiation precision & reduced planning time
- Disposable Instrumentation
- CarboClear VBR System is cleared by the FDA for Oncology & Trauma
About Expandable Corpectomy Devices
Each year, there are more than 150,000 spinal fractures in North America*. There is an estimated 10,000 to 12,000 spinal cord injuries every year and approximately 39% of these injuries are cause by motor vehicle accidents4. These non-elective or trauma surgeries sometimes require additional spinal structural support which is when the Expandable Corpectomy Device are used.Another indication or use for these Devices is in the treatment of cancer patients. If the cancer metastasizes or spreads in the spine, the surgeon may opt to remove the affected vertebral bodies and replace them with an Expandable Corpectomy Device.*(http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1264191-overview)
