The Focus® Pedicle Screw System comes with standard double lead thread and midline cortical thread options. The system allows hospital and surgical support team to streamline implant delivery and minimize tray spaces. The midline cortical thread enables the surgeons to use midline approach and move faster in surgery. It features a tower attachment or an extended tulip design with break-away tabs is used for minimal invasive procedures.
The system offers both minimally invasive and open surgery options with standard double lead thread and midline cortical thread options.
The midline cortical thread has a fast-starting initial thread, which is ergonomically designed and allows the surgeon to move faster in surgery. Additionally, the cortical option provides surgeons the flexibility to utilize a midline approach and not just a pedicle approach. For minimally invasive procedures, surgeons have an option to use a tower attachment or an extended tulip design with break-away tabs. This innovative technology allows for common instruments across procedures giving surgeons a choice without having to worry about specific instrumentation per system. Additionally, focus provides benefits for the hospital and surgical support team as well by streamlining implant delivery; minimizing tray space and limiting the number of instruments.
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.
