The VentroFix System allows direct axial compression across the graft site while maintaining rotational and translational stiffness of the bone graft implant construct. This system provides immediate stabilization of the spinal column following spinal cord decompression and bone grafting, facilitating rapid mobilization of patients.

Key Features & Benefits

• Screws incorporate a machine thread section which locks the screw to the plate to minimize the chance of screw back-out. This design provides a secure construct, eliminating the need for bicortical screw purchase.
• Self-tapping screws with cancellous thread provide secure engagement to the vertebral body
• Triangular orientation of screws resists construct pull-out
• Screws are countersunk into the clamps providing a low-profile construct
• Implants are made of commercially pure (CP) titanium and titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-7Nb)
• Precisely crafted instruments permit accurate and easy placement of the implant construct
• Instruments and implants allow unrestricted compression with minimal effort

Indications

The VentroFix System is intended for use in stabilizing the
anterolateral thoracolumbar spine from T8 to L5 following:

• Anterior decompression and subsequent bone grafting of burst fractures
• Vertebrectomy and vertebral body replacement in tumor patients
• Anterior fusion after failed posterior lumbar surgery and/or pseudoarthrosis
• Correction of lumbar scoliosis and lordotic deformities
• Anterior fusion resulting from severe disc degeneration.  Degenerative Disc Disease is defined as back pain of a discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies

This system is designed for lateral or anterolateral placement on the vertebral bodies.
