LigaPASS 2.0 provides a range of band connectors for posterior thoracolumbar fixation specifically adapted to meet unique clinical demands.
Benefits:
The growing LigaPASS® 2.0 Family of band connectors offers secure sublaminar and transverse process fixation in the thoracic and/or lumbar spine.With LigaPASS®, there is no compromise of fixation in demanding clinical scenarios, providing:
- The initial stability of a pedicle screw
- The ability to translate and derotate following the PASS LP® ST2R technique
- An optimal bone/implant interface
- A safe technique with single and dual band options
- An alternative point of fixation on existing constructs.
- The ideal accessory in deformity and revision cases
Features:
Continuity with PASS LP®
The LigaPASS® 2.0 band connector fits perfectly with the PASS LP® load-sharing reduction technique, ST2R (Simultaneous Translation on 2 Rods), and unique axial derotation technique using specialized connectors.
Safe Alternative
The LigaPASS® 2.0 Dual Band provides a safer and more efficient technique when applying multiple LigaPASS® connectors, requiring only 1 sublaminar pass finishing in 2 bands.
Ease of Use
The LigaPASS® 2.0 Family utilizes only a small tray of ergonomic instrumentation including self-stable tensioners and is compatible with Ti or CoCr rods between 5.5 and 6.0mm in diameter.
About Spinal Fixation Band
It is a temporary orthopedic implant intended to provide stabilization during the development of solid bony fusion and aid in the repair of bone fractures. The indications for use include the following applications: 1 . Spinal trauma surgery, used in sublaminar or facet wiring techniques; 2. Spinal reconstructive surgery, incorporated into constructs for the purpose of correction of spinal deformities such as idiopathic and neuromuscular scoliosis in patients 8 years of age and older, adult scoliosis, kyphosis, and spondylolisthesis; 3. Spinal degenerative surgery, as an adjunct to spinal fusions.The device system is designed to be incorporated into constructs and used in conjunction with other medical device implants made of either stainless steel or titanium whenever “wiring’ may help secure the attachment of other implants.It stabilizes the spine as an adjunct to fusion in the correction of spinal deformities.
