ZODIAC® Spinal Fixation System

By

The Zodiac Spinal Fixation System is a comprehensive spinal fusion system intended for the treatment of degenerative disc disease, spine trauma and deformity. The Zodiac system offers a comprehensive selection of top-loading, self-tapping screws in titanium and stainless steel to accommodate individual patient anatomy. The Zodiac system can also connect with the Solanas Cervico-Thoracic Posterior
Fixation System.

Key Features & Benefits:

  • Zodiac® DVR:Direct Vertebral Rotation System – Expands the capability of the Zodiac Deformity System for the correction of spinal deformities, including rod reduction and en bloc vertebral derotation.
  • Polyaxial screws allow up to 76° of variability in the axial plane and up to 60° of variability in the sagittal plane
  • Sacral Screws allow up to 60° of variability in the axial plane and up to 76° of variability in the sagittal plane to accommodate extreme L5-S1 angles
  • Uniplanar screws have up to 76° of variability in the sagittal plane only
  • Screw design features a unique bushing mechanism which creates a frictional fit that keeps the screw head stationary during rod placement
  • The closure mechanism consists of a one-piece inner set screw with a buttress-thread pattern to help prevent cross threading and head splay
Implant Selection
  • Implants available in stainless steel or titanium
  • Polyaxial Screws in numerous sizes (4.0mm-8.5mm)
  • Polyaxial High top screws (4.5mm-7.5mm)
  • Sacral screws (6.5mm & 7.5mm)
  • Uniplanar screws (4.0mm-7.5mm)
  • Monoaxial screws (4.0mm-7.5mm))

Indications:

Hook component indications are limited to T7-L5 Sacral-Iliac screw indications are limited to the sacrum-iliac crest only. The Zodiac Polyaxial Spinal Fixation System, when used as a hook and sacral iliac screw fixation system (non-pedicle screw) is intended for:
Thoracic spine fractures
Lumbar spine fractures
Deformity
– idiopathic scoliosis
– neuromuscular scoliosis
– kyphoscoliosis
Spondylolisthesis – isthmic spondylolisthesis
– degenerative spondylolisthesis
– acute pars fracture
