“The center allows us to support our customers more effectively by reducing fulfillment and response times,” said John Viscogliosi, co-CEO of VB Spine, speaking on behalf of his brothers and fellow co-CEOs Anthony and Marc Viscogliosi. “We strategically based this distribution center within our Cestas, France, campus. Our European headquarters is fully integrating manufacturing and logistics support, allowing improved efficiencies and response times for our customers and customer support teams.”
VB Spine officially conveyed the Cestas manufacturing site in January 2026. The addition of the center to the Cestas campus consolidates multiple parts of the business, including distribution, manufacturing, human resources, marketing, and surgeon support and education.
“Cestas is an ideal location to expand our customer service resources,” adds Anthony Viscogliosi. “Over the last year, we have worked directly with the community to expand our footprint there, adding employment opportunities and supporting the amazing innovation and medical education happening in the area.”
As the company continues its global expansion, VB Spine’s European distribution center will further support orders outside the U.S. VB Spine is now in capacity to distribute its products in Europe through the new site. Additionally, the company is actively developing regional distribution centers in Canada, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, Poland, and Spain.

Discussion
This is a fascinating development. In my practice we've seen similar outcomes with the revised protocol. The key differentiator seems to be patient selection criteria. Has anyone else noticed the correlation with BMI thresholds?
Great point. I'd push back slightly on the conclusion, the sample size in the cited study is too small to draw population-level inferences. That said, the directional signal is compelling and worth a larger RCT.
We implemented a similar approach last year. Early results are promising but we're still gathering 12-month follow-up data. Happy to share our protocol if anyone is interested.
