Dynafix Spine System is intended for use with pedicle screw fixation in skeletally mature patients to provide controlled dynamic stabilization of the lumbar sacral spine. Dynafix Spine System is composed of 6.0 mm diameter rods.
Features & Benefits
- DynaFix is a posterior stabilization system with a full range of multi-axial screws, rods, and cross-links.
- The self-tapping multi-axial screws provide 40 angulation in all directions for maximum intra-operative flexibility.
- The system features a low-profile screw design for anatomic adaptability, and a preassembled set screw in a non-threaded locking cap prevents cross-threading.
- The set also includes unique cross-links that can be manipulated in an angular and medial-lateral direction for accurate placement and reduced dural contact.
- DynaFix provides convenience and ease of use in surgery, to treat a variety of posterior lumbar conditions with flexibility and simplicity.
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.
