TiLock XT Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) Pedicle Screws consist of rods (straight and curved), lock screws, and polyaxial, extended tab, cannulated screws in various lengths and diameters.The minimally invasive procedure is performed using K-wires and fluoroscopy, which allows the surgeon to employ smaller incisions rather than one long midline incision.Straight-forward instrumentation, self-tapping screws, and break-away tulip designs help simplify the procedure and reduce operative time.
Features:
- Connection Ring: Simply remove ring to allow for multiple MIS techniques or final implantation.
- 20mm Reduction: Threaded reduction built into the tower. Inverted box threads reduce cross threading and occurrences of tulip splaying.
- TiLock OAI: Proprietary opposing angle interface (OAI) lock system reduces rod slippage as well as instances of set cap backout.
- Unique Cannulated Thread: Self-tapping and double-lead thread pitch promote rapid screw insertion.
- Screw Offering: Color-coded: 5.5, 6.5, 7.5mm
- Length: 25-60, in 5mm increments
- Polyaxial Head Design: The polyaxial head design features a 60° conical range of motion that provides surgeons the intraoperative flexibility needed for each unique patient anatomy.
- The friction interface between the tulip and the screw allows for incremental tulip positioning to simplify rod insertion.
- Breakaway Towers: Easily and safely break away towers for tulip profile.
- One-Piece Tower: Robust 120mm tower allows for a variety of patient profiles.
About MIS
The trend in spine surgery for many procedures has been moving toward minimally invasive approaches. These include spine surgery for lumbar fusion, deformity surgery, cervical surgery and sacroiliac joint fusion. The benefits of minimally invasive spine surgery (MIS) include decreased pain, less blood loss, shorter hospital stays and faster recovery. However, there is a difficult learning curve for surgeons when mastering MIS procedures. Increasing familiarity with MIS techniques creates more options for surgeons treating spine conditions with the potential to decrease surgical complications. The goal of this conference is to update neurological and orthopedic surgeons, as well as allied health professionals on the latest advances in MIS surgical techniques.
About Genesys Spine
Founded in December of 2009, Genesys Spine’s mission was to bring a suite of medical implants and instruments with novel characteristics into a mature spinal fusion market. Since that time, Genesys has released eight new FDA-cleared product lines with several other products in various stages of the design and development cycle. Genesys has also developed several proprietary instruments to aid in the use of its products. All of Genesys’ inaugural products and proprietary features, including system-specific instruments, have garnered very positive feedback from the marketplace and remain within existing parameters for today’s current reimbursement codes.http://www.genesysspine.com
