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.

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
