Profile: VG Innovations, Inc is a medical device company focusing on the development of a broad range of advanced, high-performance and minimally invasive spinal implants. VerteLoc™ is a minimally invasive spine stabilization system developed to overcome the limitations of implants for spinal facet fusion. The VerteLoc™ system is specifically designed to address low back pain caused by facet osteoarthritis and spinal stenosis, utilizing a unique patent-pending dual geometric design to limit motion of the affected spinal segment. VerteLoc™ can be used to stabilize the affected spinal segment, allowing adaptive fusion to negate the possibility of slip or additional osteophytes to form causing yet another stenois. Adaptive fusion allows for micro-motion at the anterior column because the fusion maintains the modulus elasticity of bone. The body still sees the need for the disc, and thus degenerates at a slower rate than if the affected segment experienced a drastic change of stiffness, as is the case with metal-based fixation systems.
