The MUST VBD Set has been developed to address some of the challenges of the derotation manoeuvres.The MUST family of products includes a wide selection of deformity specific implants and instruments to support the Medacta Spine philosophy of patient driven, pathology specific solutions.The Medacta Unconstrained Screw Technology [M.U.S.T.] pedicle screw system has been designed to provide flexibility to the surgeon.
Ability to temporarily lock the poly-axial head without in-situ rod to create mono-axial rigidity for parallel compression/distraction.
This leads to:
- Optimal disc preparation
- Smart cage positioning
- Effective trauma treatment
- Powerful deformity correction
Features:
The M.U.S.T. Pedicle Screw System is an unconstrained polyaxial screw, rod & connector design applicable to degenerative, deformity and trauma indications using traditional open or MIS (mini-open) surgical approaches.
- Ultimate Versatility in One System.
- Ability to lock polyaxial head without in-situ rod to create monaxial rigidity for parallel compression/distraction.
- Pre-sterilized implants increase logistic efficiencies and reduce hospital preparation.
- Dual-thread lead advances screw with control and speed.
- Specialized enabling instruments for rod reduction and set-screw threading.
- Polyaxial and monoaxial in solid and cannulated versions.
- Range of diameters available to cover the thoracic, lumbar, sacral and sacro-iliac fixation needs.
- M.U.S.T. Link Cross Connectors provide an easy-to-use option to improve the stabilisation of the treated spine.
About Spinal Deformity
Scoliosis is an abnormal curvature of the spine that can occur in any age group. Scoliosis is a coronal plane (i.e. side to side) deformity occurring in children, adolescents, and adults. Symptoms vary with age of onset and severity of the curvature; cosmetic problems including sitting imbalance, breathing difficulty or delayed development is common findings in infants and young children. A rib hump, pelvic or shoulder height imbalance tend to common in the adolescent group. Intractable back pain, sciatica, leg weakness or numbness and gait difficulty are common reasons for surgical correction in adults.
Kyphosis is seen when a person’s spinal balance has moved too far forward to allow the spine to effectively carry the body weight without progressive deformity, pain or neurologic loss of function. Patients typically walk in a forward flexed posture being unable to stand up straight. This condition can also occur along with scoliosis causing Kyphoscoliosis.
About Medacta
Medacta Group is an industrial group mainly active in the field of production and sales of medical products.Its history begins in 1958, when Bieffe Biochimici Firenze was founded by Dr. Francesco Siccardi Senior.This group has enjoyed a prosperous growth thanks to cutting edge technology, a world-wide expansion and excellent commercial results.
The Group has expanded its activity all over the world, specialising in the field of dialysis, urology and i.v. perfusion.In 1997 the Siccardi family sold a big part of the activity to Baxter Group i.e. the sterile fluids product group.Subsequently the Siccardi family re-invested part of its capital into the field of orthopaedics and so founded Medacta® International SA. http://www.medacta.com
