The VCFix® Spinal System is a revolutionary vertebral body augmentation system to improve pain control and stabilize the spine in patients suffering from Vertebral Compression Fractures.

VCFix® is a revolutionary implant for vertebral body augmentation developed by Amber Implants. We designed this product for the treatment of vertebral compression fractures. The product, consisting of a preparation, implantation, and an optional supplementary fixation kit, is intended to be used to treat and reduce compression fractures in vertebrae that have collapsed due to trauma, tumor, or degenerative diseases.

VCFix® is a revolutionary implant for vertebral body augmentation developed by Amber Implants. We designed this product for the treatment of vertebral compression fractures. The VCFix® Spinal System is intended to be used in combination with an approved bone cement, and to be placed, using a transpedicular approach, in a fractured vertebra with or without posterior fixation.

VCFix®: improving the treatment of spinal fractures

Better
stabilization

VCFix® provides pedicle anchorage to better distribute the biomechanical load on the vertebral body and the spine.

Reduced
operation time

VCFix® Spinal System includes a simple, single use surgical set that allows for an efficient workflow and a short operation time.

Optimal lifting performance

VCFix®  expands in a craniocaudal direction, tackling the compression forces of the spine with up to 1200 newtons of expansion force. 

Controlled
restoration

VCFix® implant comes in different sizes and has an adjustable angular expansion mechanism.  This way, VCFix® provides an optimal fracture reduction and anatomical restoration for each patient.

Inducing osseointegration

Due to its optimized perforated structure and appropriate mechanical properties, VCFix® offers an ideal bone-implant interface.

Stand-alone
device

Thanks to its robustness, VCFix® allows for the treatment of vertebral compression fractures without the need for bone cement. However, for more severe and unstable fractures, the implant is compatible with cement injection.

Controlled
restoration

VCFix® implant comes in different sizes and has an adjustable angular expansion mechanism.  This way, VCFix® provides an optimal fracture reduction and anatomical restoration for each patient.

Better
stabilization

VCFix® provides pedicle anchorage to better distribute the biomechanical load on the vertebral body and the spine. In the case of more complex fractures,  posterior fixation is an optional feature.
