The VENUS®mini pedicle screw fixation system allows minimally invasive, percutaneous correction and stabilisation of the spine and is the logical further development of the innovative design properties of the standard screw system.
It facilitates accurate positioning of the pedicle screws. The screw head holders are fixed to the screw heads and thus permit uncomplicated, safe guidance during implantation. The rod holder provides full control and reliable insertion of the rod into the correct position.
Simple compression, distraction and reduction/reposition expand the variability and intraoperative flexibility.
The instrumentation is extremely concise and ergonomic. It is a consequently adapted cannulated instrumentation that allows the insertion of the implants through a very small incision, guided by K-wires and special instruments for percutaneous applications.
This allows the surgeon to dissect the area safely and atraumatically as well as efficient and stable guidance of the instrumentation, protecting the ligaments and muscles.
safe
– Safe positioning of the rod through the guidance hole in the head holders
– Comprehensive options for reposition without enlargement of the incision
– Integrated reposition thread for easy manoeuvring of the rod
anatomical
– Minimal muscle trauma due to true percutaneous technique
– Self-tapping threads without traumatising cutting flutes
transparent
– Colour-coded screws
– Concise and simple instrumentation
stable
– Load-optimised screw shaft design
– Extension and rod holder can resist the forces required to correct deformitie
flexible
– Versatile application and techniques
– Large selection of implants
– Different spinal segments
– Optimum adaptability to anatomy
– Can be combined with all VENUS® implants
– Numerous rod options for different lengths
Four product-specific advantages
– No additional incition for implanting the rods
– Pullout-resistance of the screw head holder > 400N
– Assembly of the screw head holders (i.e. at revisions) in situ possible
– Easy disassembly of the rod inserter even at disadvantageous anatomical space conditions
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.
