The XYcor™ Spinal Implant is an expandable implant. For insertion, the XYcor™ requires one-half the intradiscal entry point, but once deployed has a footprint comparable to traditional anterior interbody/VBR devices. The XYcor™ Spinal Implant is specifically designed for low profile, minimally invasive implantation and is compatible with all current MIS/MAST (Minimally Invasive Surgery/ Minimal Access Spinal Technique) access systems. The XYcor™ Spinal Implant is delivered via a minimal access posterior/posterolateral annulotomy that is no larger than that used for a standard microdiscectomy. The implant is designed to restore and maintain biomechanical integrity throughout the thoracolumbar spine following vertebrectomy or corpectomy for patients with spinal tumors or fractures. The implant, together with supplemental rigid internal fixation, provides anterior, middle and posterior column support both immediately after surgery and for prolonged periods in the absence of bone fusion. The implant is a cross-limbed, expandable vertebral body replacement device manufactured from surgical grade titanium.
