Hydrolift® Next Generation Vertebral Body Replacement System – Continuous, Hydraulic Distraction 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 Features - 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. Indication Vertebral body replacement with tumours and fractures of the thoracolumbar spine. Degenerative or inflammable diseases of the thoracolumbar spine indicating a corpectomy.
