Product Overview
Our Vu e•POD™ intervertebral body fusion device offers a less invasive insertion option for posterior lumbar interbody fusion procedures. The device’s low profile and bullet nose ease implantation, and its ability to rotate and distract the endplates by 2mm helps to restore disc height and ensure an optimal fit. Multiple footprints and lordotic angles are available to accommodate a variety of patient pathologies.
Key Features:
• Insert-and-rotate technique
• Minimum of 2mm of distraction upon rotation
• 5â° and 10â° lordosis options
• Biocompatible, radiolucent PEEK-OPTIMA®
Indications:
When used as an intervertebral body fusion device, the Vu e•POD Intervertebral Body Fusion Device is indicated for use as an adjunct to fusion in patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD) at one or two contiguous levels from L2 to S1.
These DDD patients may also have up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis at the involved level(s). The device is indicated for use with autograft bone graft and/or allogeneic bone graft composed of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone. The Vu e•POD Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices are intended for use with supplemental fixation. Degenerative disc disease (DDD) is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies. These patients should be skeletally mature and have had six months of non-operative treatment.
When used as a vertebral body replacement (VBR) the Vu e•POD System is indicated for use in the thoracolumbar spine (TI-L5) to replace a collapsed, damaged or otherwise unstable vertebral body due to tumor or trauma (i.e. fracture). The Vu e•POD VBR System is designed to restore the biomechanical integrity of the anterior, middle and posterior spinal column even in the absence of fusion for a prolonged period. The device is indicated for use with autograft bone graft and/or allogeneic bone graft composed of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone. The Vu e•POD VBR System is intended for use with supplemental internal spinal fixation.
