nuMIS is a low profile semi-rigid plating system offering flexibility in both product design and surgical technique.The nuMIS is approved for sales in the United States (510k)
Benefits:
- Semi-rigid, low profile, plate allowing increased flexibility and load sharing with the anterior column.
- Easy to contour
- Exclusive washer design: Unique polyaxial bandclamp washer allows unlimited range of placement on the plate.
- Most advanced plating system available: Built upon the Simmons heritage; completely redesigned implants and instrumentation.
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.
