Hera Dynamic Rod is an implant with the following features:
- Allows rotational and axial movement
- Prevents the upper segment degeneration
- The implants are compatible with all 5,5 mm rod systems
- Offers two different options 5,5 and 6 mm in diameters and 60 to 90 mm in length
- Length is 90mm rods have in the hybrid structure
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 SAGICO
At SAGICO, our approach to improving spine science is through bold and meaningful collaborations. These discoveries fuel our quest to design spinal solutions through our global partnerships. Spinal Analytics and Geometrical Implant Co (SAGICO) is just one element of a family conglomerate spread across several continents. SAGICO, are the creators of ‘The Essentials of 4D Sagittal Restoration Technology”, comprising of Length + Width + Height + Lordosis = 4D and also the “Tri-Fix” or Triple Fixation system for ACDF procedures. For over a decade, our implants and spinal restoration devices have been used in thousands of cases and patient procedures. http://www.sagico.com
