Distractable Anterior Spacer - Dorso Lumbar DAS

The DAS - DORSO LUMBAR IMPLANT is applied if the anterior thoracic or lumbar spine needs to be reconstructed.

• One or more vertebral bodies can be substituted
• The Implant may be distracted continuously in situ
• The Implant corrects malalignments of the spine by distraction
• The Implant is anchored easily and safely between the adjacent end plates of the vertebral bodies
• The anterior vertebral column is stabilized so as to become load bearing
• The Implant has a hollow design. If necessary the implant may be filled with bone through large orifices in the cylindrical portions. This may be done either before or after insertion.
• In case of instabilities use instrumentation to protect Implant against dislocation

The DAS - DORSO LUMBAR IMPLANT may be used after complete or partial corpectomy caused by destruction of the vertebral body. Such destruction may be caused by

• Tumours
• Fractures
• Infections
