HPS Hybrid Performance System is designed to combine modern, rigid spinal fixation with a topping-off option. It results in less stress on adjacent segments and a reduced risk of developing adjacent segment disease, which causes new symptoms after spine surgery. The key element, the DSS® coupler, is the most efficient coupler available on the market and has been clinically proven in about 5,000 cases all around the world.
The combination of the coupler with tulip screws and rods makes the Hybrid Performance System the most versatile and universal system available on the market, allowing for mono- and multi-level fusions. The low-profile, high-quality polyaxial screws and ergonomic instruments enable fast and optimal implant positioning and deformity correction techniques.
Features :

- Adjacent segment protection
- Clinically proven DSS® coupler technology
- 5,000 cases treated in three years
- Extremely low failure rate of the DSS® coupler
- Universal system for all indications
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.
