DIPLOMAT®

For OPEN, MIS/ percutaneous and DEFORMITY cases

To provide an optimal patient treatment the demands placed on a pedicle screw system are very high – regardless of the particular indication. Both simple and complex spine treatments require a maximum of security and stability. Therefore reliable, ergonomic and functional instrument sets are an absolute must for surgeons. DIPLOMAT® from SIGNUS combines all of these features.

The DIPLOMAT® system is a system for all indications, due to its modularity. The full functionality and effectiveness of the system can be extended through minimally invasive access instruments and instruments for infralaminar hooks, used for deformities.  Optimized tissue protection was taken into account during development.

The surgical strategy can be changed from “minimally invasive” to “open” at any time without having to change the system or open additional sets. This is possible due to providing only one type of screw, which is available cannulated and fenestrated in various lengths and diameters. Depending on the indication and requirements, the surgeon chooses the appropriate tulip which will be than connected onto the screw.

In total, the DIPLOMAT system offers a solid and easy-to-use instrument set, which enables the user to perform complex and minimally invasive treatments with only one system.
