MEQUON, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Titan Spine’s ENDOSKELETON® TA Titanium Vertebral Body Replacement (VBR) device has performed extremely well in a variety of recent mechanical tests and shown that it is here to stay. In a study released by a team of doctors from the University of Wisconsin Hospital–Madison, lead by Paul A. Anderson, MD, the ENDOSKELTON® TA’s performance on a battery of tests was stacked up against competing spine devices of varying conventional materials including PEEK (Polyetheretherketone), allograft bone implants, and titanium threaded fusion devices. Utilizing bovine lumbar spine segments, the team aimed to put each device through tests meant to simulate the type of stresses that they would face when implanted within the human spine.
