Profile: Spinemedica LLC develops and manufactures biomaterial-based products. Our hydrogel material is silicone-like that allows the strength and stiffness to be tailored to the implant application. The Paradis Vaso Shield™ is indicated for use as a cover for vessels following anterior vertebral surgery. This is to be used by inserting it between specific anatomy, such as the anterior spine and adjacent aorta, vena cava, or iliac vessels. It is also used during revision surgery, fusion surgery, adjacent level surgery, artificial disc implantation, implant or hardware removal, trauma and vascular surgery in the spine.
