1. XPand is a unique expandable corpectomy device that comes in a wide variety of footprints, heights and lordotic angles. It offers infinitly adjustable expansion using a simple insertion and expansion technique, and can be placed at multiple insertion angles to accommodate various approaches. It offers a self-distracting capability, and provides smooth in-situ continuous expansion.

* Expansion and distraction in one instrument
* Large open canal for bone graft material

2. The XPand®-R device is an expandable corpectomy spacer made from radiolucent polymer (PEEK), allowing visualization of bone growth and the anatomic site. Radiolucency is a substantial advantage in treating tumor and trauma conditions, in terms of post-operative visualization and management of tumor recurrence. It utilizes the same operating principle as XPand®, offering infinitly adjustable expansion, various approach options, and multiple footprints, height ranges, and lordotic/kyphotic angles. XPand®-R is self-distracting and provides smooth in-situ continuous expansion.
