The TIGER Spine System is intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of
the following acute and chronic instabilities or deformities of thoracic, lumbar, and sacral/iliac spine (TI – Si/Ileum): degenerative disc disease (defined as discogenic back
pain with degeneration of disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies), degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurological impairment, fracture, dislocation, scoliosis, kyphosis, spinal tumor, and failed previous fusion (pseudarthrosis).
The TIGER Spine System is comprised of polyaxial pedicle screws, rods and crosslinks. The TIGER Spine System can be used for single or multiple level fixations. The pedicle screws are available in various lengths and diameters. The rods are available in straight and pre-lordosed (curved) configurations. The system has variable length cross connectors. The implants are manufactured from Ti6Al4V alloy.
Features:
- Mono-axial, poly-axial, uni-planar, fracture, and reduction
- Screw diameters from 4.5mm to 10.5mm
- Screw lengths from 25mm to 120mm
- Titanium and cobalt chrome rods
- Wide array of hook sizes and orientations
- Rod to rod connectors to accommodate 3.5mm, 5.5mm, and 6.35mm rods
- Multiple options for reduction up to 35mm
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.
