This new FDA clearance will give surgeons more options in sourcing the graft tissue that meets their patients specific needs. Check out the video below to see the VariLift®-LX graft chamber in action. **VariLift® System Expands Indications** VariLift®-L/LX is designed to be implanted bi-laterally via a posterior (PLIF) approach or as a single device via a transverse (TLIF) approach. VariLift®-L/LX may be implanted with or without supplemental fixation and is intended for use with autograft and/or allograft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft to facilitate fusion. VariLift®-C is used to facilitate intervertebral body fusion in the cervical spine and is placed in a unilateral or a bilateral fashion via an anterior approach at the C3 to C7 disc levels using autograft and/or allograft comprised of cancellous and/or corticocancellous bone graft.
