Next Generation Vertebral Body Replacement System Continuous, Hydraulic Distraction Description Hydrolift® is the first vertebral body replacement system that is distracted not mechanically but hydraulically with sterile saline water. The slim implant body allows a bone saving partial corpectomy. The anatomical endplates with the proven Plasmapore® coating guarantee a save and quick osteointegration. The endplates can adapt freely in a ±10° angulation and can be adapted in-situ to the adjacent vertebral bodies. This special feature permits an optimized and easy adjustment to the individual anatomical situation of the patient. Advantages - Hydraulic distraction: Exact digital display for the built up pressure. Security valve at 30 bar minimized danger of overdistraction and of subsidence of the implant into the endplates of the adjacent vertebras. Tactile feedback during distraction in contrast to mechanical distraction systems. - In-Situ adjustable endplates for best possible positioning of the implant - Continuous distraction Indication Vertebral body replacement with tumours and fractures of the thoracolumbar spine. Degenerative or inflammable diseases of the thoracolumbar spine indicating a corpectomy. Properties - 6 implant heights and 3 endplates sizes for the thoracic and lumbar spine - Pre-assembled implants allow a timesaving surgery - If necessary, endplates can be exchanged to adjust to individual conditions - Easy instrumentation Note Vertebral body replacement implants never are used as stand-alone systems. We advise to combine the Hydrolift® either with our anterior stabilization system MACS TL® or posterior with the S4® Spinal System.
