SILC® is a low-profile fixation system that is easy to insert and provides the stability to perform standard reduction maneuvers without requiring pedicle purchase. This sublaminar polyethylene terephthalate (PET) band system adapts to complex anatomies of the most severe spinal deformities and utilizes the strength of laminar cortical bone, which may be necessary for compromised pedicle anatomy and/or poor bone quality. The top-loading clamp with medial/lateral set screw orientation allows implant insertion at any time during surgery.
Benefits:
- Intraoperative Versatility: Top-loading clamp in three sizes accommodates multiple patient types, correction techniques and rod diameters.
- Smooth Assembly: Streamlined Tensioner with simple steps for clamp insertion through final tightening.
- Strong Connection: The rigid clamp and SILC® band construct allows for powerful correction.
About Spinal Fixation Band
It is a temporary orthopedic implant intended to provide stabilization during the development of solid bony fusion and aid in the repair of bone fractures. The indications for use include the following applications: 1 . Spinal trauma surgery, used in sublaminar or facet wiring techniques; 2. Spinal reconstructive surgery, incorporated into constructs for the purpose of correction of spinal deformities such as idiopathic and neuromuscular scoliosis in patients 8 years of age and older, adult scoliosis, kyphosis, and spondylolisthesis; 3. Spinal degenerative surgery, as an adjunct to spinal fusions.The device system is designed to be incorporated into constructs and used in conjunction with other medical device implants made of either stainless steel or titanium whenever “wiring’ may help secure the attachment of other implants.It stabilizes the spine as an adjunct to fusion in the correction of spinal deformities.
