Vertebral body prostheses are implantable devices used to replace or stabilize damaged or missing vertebrae in the spine, often due to trauma, tumors, or degenerative conditions. They help restore spinal alignment and structural integrity, frequently paired with spinal fixation hardware and bone grafts to ensure proper healing and support.
These devices are typically regulated as medical implants, requiring sterilization before use despite being classified as non-sterile in their unprocessed form. They are supplied as surgical implants and must meet strict manufacturing and safety standards to ensure biocompatibility and long-term performance in spinal applications.
