Here are five notes:
1. A titanium vertebral body replacement device, the X-Core Mini Cervical Corpectomy System is intended to offer stability after a corpectomy operation.
2. The device is ideal for patients with a damaged vertebral body from tumor, fracture or osteomyelitis.
3. The X-Core Mini replaces the damaged vertebral body.
4. Required for use with supplemental fixation in the cervical spine, the X-Core Mini works in conjunction with NuVasvie’s Archon Reconstruction Corpectomy plate. Gary K. Michelson, MD, helped develop the Archon Reconstruction system technology.
5. The Archon-R plate is intended to increase rigidity and resistance to screw pullout.
“The X-Core Mini system allows the surgeon a choice of endcaps and core diameters, ensuring each construct is optimized to best address each patient’s individual surgical needs,” said Neill Wright, MD, of Barnes Jewish Hospital in St. Louis.
