The smallest VBR on the market, the device now has been used for two decades in patients who need surgical reconstruction of their thoracic or lumbar spine after a vertebrectomy.
John DeVine, MD, chief of spine surgery for the Medical College of Georgia, described the system as robust, user-friendly and elegant.
“I continue to use the system regularly,” Dr. DeVine said in a news release. “Small VBR has proven it can outlast many of the other products that have tried to imitate it.”
Two years ago, the St. Louis-based medical device company marked another milestone: surpassing its 100,000th VBR device implanted.
