The Ethos PEEK Vertebral Body Replacement (VBR) system is comprised of 3 uniquely designed spacers. These spacers are used to replace a collapsed, damaged, or unstable vertebral body that is resected during partial and total vertebrectomy procedures. Used to restore height of a collapsed vertebral body, our spacers also attain anterior decompression of the spinal cord and neural tissues. The Ethos PEEK VBR spacers are available in different sizes and shapes for use within the thorocolumbar spine. These devices are meant to be used in pairs and only with supplemental fixation as offered in our Ethos Pedicle Screw System.

The Ethos VBR spacers come in a variety of shapes and sizes:

The Ethos “Round Spacer” has a bullet tipped nose which is designed to aid in distraction during implementation. The geometry of this device allows it to be inserted at a right angle to its intended orientation and then rotated into place. The Ethos Round Spacer can also be impacted into place.

The Ethos “Flat Tipped Spacer” is designed with a flat tipped nose and is available in shorter lengths to properly accommodate the patient’s anatomy.

The Ethos “Curved Spacer” has a curved shape which allows for flexibility when accommodating a patient’s anatomy.
Features and Benefits of all spacers include:
•    Prominent anti-expulsion barbs on the superior and inferior contacting surfaces and large central apertures for placement of bone graft.
•    Angled tooth design allowing self guiding effortless insertion.
•    Proportional sizing.
•    Parallel and ioditic styles available.
•    Proud tooth design on superior and inferior surfaces help to resist migration.
•    Radiolucent, allowing visualization of osteogenesis; markers help facilitate and verify device placement.
•    Modulus of elasticity closely approximates cortical bone, encouraging load sharing while minimizing stress shielding, resulting in bone fusion enhancement.
