The Medacta MIS Percutaneous System is designed to provide the surgeon with a minimally invasive solution for spinal thoracolumbar fixation. The system is able to deliver several advantages for patients including smaller incisions and minimal muscle resection, reduction of blood loss and post-operative pain, precision and efficiency in pedicle screw placement.
Slim Percutaneous Tubes
• 15mm diameter
• Low profile to minimise muscle trauma
• Dedicated design to perfectly match and firmly anchor the Enhanced Pedicle Screw
• 100mm lateral windows for easy Rod insertion
• 35mm rod reduction capability
• Short version available
Cannulated Polyaxial Pedicle Screw
• Range of motion of 60° to facilitate the connection of the Percutaneous Tubes
• Dual lead thread to secure optimal bone purchase
• Low profile tulip to minimise the implant height over the bony elements
• 1.75mm cannulation for safe use with 1.5mm K-wire
MIS Rods
– Bullet nose profile to ease navigation through soft tissues
– Hexagonal interface to help insert the rod in a lordotic, kyphotic or lateral manner.
– Available in different designs:
• Straight Rods
• Bent Rods, with standard pre-lordosed curvature
(R200)
• Bent Rods R100, with increased lordosis to treat the short lumbar tracts
• Dual Bent Rods, with an enhanced proximal lordosis to match the sacrum and a standard distal curvature to treat the lumbar spine
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.
