VariLift-L is an expandable lumbar interbody fusion implant made from titanium alloy. Its self-tapping body contains an interior sliding wedge and a posterior end cap; grooves, flutes and large graft windows form the implant structure.
The windows lie between four quadrants and provide contact between graft and the vertebral endplates. The lumbar configuration is available in different sizes for bilateral posterior placement or single-device transforaminal placement.
Listed Item
The Wenzel Spine VariLift Lumbar Interbody Fusion Device is a self-tapping, expandable device with an interior sliding wedge and a posterior end cap. The VariLift-L is a grooved and fluted device with large graft windows positioned each of its four quadrants that provide bony contact with the endplates. VariLift-L is designed to be implanted bi-laterally via posterior (PLIF) approach or as a single device via a transverse (TLIF) approach. VariLift-L may be implanted with or without supplemental fixation and is intended for use with autograft to facilitate fusion. VariLift-L is indicated for intervertebral body fusion of the lumbar spine, from L2 to S1, in skeletally mature patients who have had six months of non-operative treatment. The device is intended for use at either one level or two contiguous levels for the treatment of degenerative disc disease (DDD) with up to Grade 1 spondylolisthesis. DDD is defined as back pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies.
Fusion Configuration
VariLift-L is intended for one or two contiguous levels from L2 to S1 in skeletally mature patients, using autograft. It may be used with or without supplemental fixation. The posterior and transforaminal arrangements are VariLift-L options; the separately named VariLift-A is the anterior configuration of the wider system.
