Here are four points:

 

1. Surgeons implant the device in a unilateral or bilateral capacity through a PLIF or TLIF approach.

 

2. The VariLift-LX has four fenestrations and a bone graft chamber to enhance vertebral fusion.

 

3. Wenzel Spine plans to begin the limited release of the device in a few weeks, and a wide release in the spring.

 

4. “The new implant lengths and heights will allow surgeons to optimize use of the system for a larger portion of lumbar fusion patients,” said Bryan Wohlfeld, MD, of North Texas VA Medical Center in Dallas.
