October 26, 2023- Aspen Medical Products has launched the VRTX System – the first fully integrated spinal support system on the market for post-operative and trauma care. According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, millions of spine-related injuries occur annually in the United States. Patients with traumatic, multi-level spinal injuries typically require a custom Cervical Thoracic Lumbar Sacral Orthosis (CTLSO) that stabilizes the spine before or after surgery.
These patients may wait for up to three days to receive their CTLSO after being measured and fit, increasing the risk for deep vein thrombosis, bed sores, respiratory issues and other complications.
The VRTX System is the first-ever cervical to sacrum system designed to redefine spinal care in acute care settings. The prefabricated design with intuitive adjustable sizing helps clinicians to fit patients and stabilize the spine immediately. This off-the-shelf solution can help to reduce length of stay and risk of complications, while optimizing operational efficiencies in hospitals by enhancing time and inventory management.
