Dinamika is a dynamic pedicle screw placement system, developed to reestablish axial stability and to preserve flexibility of segmental movement through Dinamika plates and/or rod in the treatments of degenerative disc diseases of the lumbar column.The Dinamika system is a new concept that combines traditional surgical approach with the philosophy of dynamic stabilization, which is based on maintenance of joint function.Dinamika offers the surgeon the possibility of performing a dynamic and/or mixed (i.e., dynamic and rigid) pedicle screw placement using GMReis Dinamika Plates or Rods.The GMReis Dinamika system includes polyaxial hemispherical pedicle screws that are connected to Dinamika plates and/or to Dinamika rods, hemispherical pedicle connectors that are used for connecting Dinamika rods to hemispherical pedicle screws, and a unique locking system that allows locking of the Dinamika plate or rod besides offering a simple and safe technique to the surgeon.
Advantages:
- It increases resistance and restores stability of the segment;
- It does not alter the biomechanical behavior of adjacent levels;
- It promotes stabilization and control of movements close to the functional anatomy of the spinal column;
- It offers two pedicle placement options using Dinamika Plate and/or Rod;
- It allows the execution of dynamic and/or mixed (i.e. dynamic and rigid) pedicle screw placement;
- Low profile and self tapping hemispherical polyaxial pedicle screw; and
- The technique allows a second surgical procedure in case of failure (arthrodesis).
About Pedicle Screw/Rod–Based Dynamic Stabilization Devices
Dynamic stabilization is a surgical technique designed to allow for some movement of the spine, while maintaining enough stability to prevent too much movement. Pedicle-based dynamic devices were first designed to stabilize the abnormal segment and to unload degenerated discs and facet joints, while maintaining the same level of normal motion.By unloading the pressure on the degenerated disc and facets, pedicle-based dynamic devices have the potential to reduce pain associated with these anatomical structures. Furthermore, these devices can be used to prevent adjacent-segment disease, either by replacing the whole construct with dynamic rods or by “topping off” the rigid instrumented segment with pedicle-based dynamic devices, avoiding an abrupt change from a rigid construct to the more mobile adjacent segment. It has also been argued that using pedicle-based dynamic devices can promote better fusion because of micromovements across endplates, and can protect from implant failure because of better load sharing through the implant. Finally, these devices can be used to stabilize posterior iatrogenic destabilizing surgery, such as wide laminectomy and facetectomy.
About GMReis
The GMReis Company was founded in 1989 by the Biomedical Engineering Geraldo Marins dos Reis Jr., MSC. His personal commitment to develop an electromagnetic stimulation device for bone regeneration and an evoked potential system during his Master Degree was the beginning to the whole structure GMReis company has reached at present.
Initially, the focus was to produce implants and instruments to orthopedics and traumatology. Since 1995 the company expanded its range of products to become a pioneer and innovator manufacturer for spine surgery in Brazil against the international market. The GMReis Company is now considered one of the most structured manufacturer and supplier for spine surgery not only to the national market, but also for countries in Latin America, Europe, Asia and Middle East.http://www.gmreis.com
