The Cypher MIS Screw System combines a minimally invasive technique with translating screw heads to provide the surgeon with a unique first-to-market implant that allows for optimal screw placement and reduces the amount of rod manipulation necessary during rod placement.
Benefits:
Translation Screw Technology™
- Unique in the marketplace, provides 3.0 mm of medial-lateral translation to encourage optimal screw placement
- Less rod manipulation, easier rod introduction
Versatile Instrumentation
- Robust implant interface instills confidence throughout the procedure
- Powerful rod reducers support controlled, sequential rod reduction
- Screw towers attach to the screws via a simple push motion, with a secondary locking mechanism to prevent intra-operative release
Less Stress at Bone-to-Screw Interface
About MIS
The trend in spine surgery for many procedures has been moving toward minimally invasive approaches. These include spine surgery for lumbar fusion, deformity surgery, cervical surgery and sacroiliac joint fusion. The benefits of minimally invasive spine surgery (MIS) include decreased pain, less blood loss, shorter hospital stays and faster recovery. However, there is a difficult learning curve for surgeons when mastering MIS procedures. Increasing familiarity with MIS techniques creates more options for surgeons treating spine conditions with the potential to decrease surgical complications. The goal of this conference is to update neurological and orthopedic surgeons, as well as allied health professionals on the latest advances in MIS surgical techniques.
