About VCFix®
The VCFix® Spinal System is the first solution able to treat a broad range of vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) without need for bone cement. With its unique design, the VCFix® implant can potentially stimulate bone ingrowth, providing a more natural healing process. It is optimized for mechanical strength, maximum fracture reduction and anatomical restoration. The VCFix® implant provides pedicle anchorage for better stability, better distribution of loads in the middle and posterior columns of the spine, as well the possibility for posterior fixation for more unstable fractures. The VCFix® Spinal System also includes a user-friendly single-use sterile surgical kit for perfect traceability and reduced risks of infection. VCFix® will be the new generation of treatment, providing an easier, more efficient and safer solution for patients with vertebral fractures.
