The Altus Spine Pedicle Screw system’s low torque design fully locks at 65 in-lbs. which is nearly half of the torque required by most of the competitive designs. This fosters greatest tactile feedback and surgeon finesse when it matters most. As a result of its unique locking cap, tulip design and closure
mechanism, the system is more suitably designed to address sub-optimal and compromised bone quality, as typically seen with osteoporotic patients. This expanded capability is also enhanced through the pedicle screw’s thread form which optimizes the bone screw interface and related pullout strength.

Benefits:
Evolutionary Low Torque Threadless Locking Design
• Efficient threadless, low torque locking cap design
• Threadless initial locking – one-quarter turn, no torque initial lock
• Final locking secured at 65 in-lbs minimizing forces applied
to anatomy and provides benchmark tactile feedback
• Prevents cross-threading, splaying and false locking
