Aspen Medical Products, a prominent leader in spinal solutions for pain management and enhanced mobility, has introduced the VRTX System. This groundbreaking system represents the first fully integrated spinal support solution for post-operative and trauma care. The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons reports that millions of spinal injuries occur in the United States every year. Patients with traumatic, multi-level spinal injuries often require a customized Cervical Thoracic Lumbar Sacral Orthosis (CTLSO) for stabilizing the spine before or after surgery. Unfortunately, the conventional process of measurement and fitting can result in a delay of up to three days for these patients, leading to an increased risk of complications such as deep vein thrombosis, bedsores, and respiratory issues.

The VRTX System redefines spinal care in acute care settings, offering a prefabricated design with adjustable sizing that allows clinicians to promptly fit patients and stabilize their spines. This off-the-shelf solution has the potential to reduce hospital stays and minimize the risk of complications, all while improving operational efficiency in healthcare facilities by optimizing time and inventory management. Aspen continues to demonstrate its commitment to innovation and clinical solutions with the VRTX System, building upon a legacy of pioneering advancements in spine care.

The modular, low-profile design of the VRTX System provides comfortable support for a wide range of patient anatomies and facilitates faster patient ambulation, ultimately leading to improved outcomes. An integrated QR code feature allows easy access to patient instructions, ensuring compliance with proper application directions. Building on the success of the Vista Cervical Collar, Aspen has incorporated several enhanced features into the new VRTX Collar. A symmetrical back panel ensures precise and consistent application with each use, and clinicians can conveniently make notes directly on the collar's surface to track pad replacement time. Furthermore, the VRTX Collar now offers more refined height adjustments to accommodate a broader range of patients and can be adjusted to a lower setting when necessary.
