The VERTE-STACK® Spinal System is a vertebral body replacement device intended for use in the thoracolumbar spine (T1-L5) to replace a collapsed, damaged, or unstable vertebral body due to tumor or trauma (i.e., fracture). The VERTE-STACK® Spinal System is to be used with supplemental fixation. Specifically, the VERTE-STACK® device is to be used with the Medtronic Sofamor Danek ZPLATE II Anterior Fixation System, DYNALOK™ CLASSIC Spinal System, the VANTAGE™ Anterior Fixation System, TSRH® Spinal System, CD HORIZON® Spinal System, the GDLH® Spinal System, or their successors. Additionally, the VERTE-STACK® device is intended to be used with bone graft.

The VERTE-STACK® device is a stackable spacer, which inserts between vertebral bodies in the anterior thoracic and lumbar spine. The device is intended for vertebral body replacement to aid in the surgical correction and stabilization of the spine. The construct is not intended to be employed as a stand-alone device. The VERTE-STACK® device is fabricated and manufactured from POLYETHERETHERKETONE (PEEK OPTIMA LT1) along with either titanium or tantalum markers. Alternatively the entire device may be manufactured from titanium alloy. The design of the VERTE-STACK® device includes a variety of stackable components of different sizes and heights. The stackable components are designed to suit the individual patient pathology. The VERTE-STACK® device may be used individually, or two or more may be stacked together in order to accommodate the individual anatomical requirements of the vertebral space created by the corpectomy. The VERTE-STACK® Spinal System must be used with additional anterior and/or posterior spinal instrumentation to augment stability. VERTE-STACK® constructs manufactured with PEEK may be used with stainless steel or titanium supplemental fixation devices. Titanium VERTE-STACK® constructs may not be used with stainless steel supplemental fixation devices.
