Wenzel Spine announced the first awake spinal fusion procedure using the VariLift®-LX interbody implant. The Less Invasive Spine Surgery (LISS)™ was performed without general anesthesia.
VariLift®-LX is reportedly the only FDA-cleared stand-alone lumbar interbody fusion device on the market that can be implanted without the need for supplemental fixation such as pedicle screw instrumentation. The expandable, low-profile device offers a true LISS or MIS alternative for patients suffering from symptomatic grade 1 spondylolisthesis, degenerative disc disease or adjacent segment disease.
“As we move forward,” said Wenzel Spine CEO, Bill Wilson, “we will work with surgeons to refine the surgical indications for outpatient spinal fusion with the VariLift-LX. This technology is demonstrating that through careful engineering and thoughtful application, patients are benefiting immensely from the reduced surgical time, potential elimination of general anesthesia, and the ability to achieve same day discharge after a spine fusion in select patients.”
