EBI® Ionic™ Spine Spacer System

The EBI® Ionic™ Spine Spacer System is designed to be used in the thoracolumbar spine; the thoracic and lumbar levels (T1 through L5). The EBI® Ionic™ spacer implants (Fig. 1) can be used to replace a diseased vertebral body, restore the height of a collapsed vertebral body, and to treat fractures. These unique spacers help to restore the biomechanical integrity at the anterior (front), middle, and posterior (rear) spinal column.
