ISSYS LP PAC

---

The ISSYS LP Polyaxial Cross Connector (PAC) system was designed to increase the torsional strength and stability to the ISSYS LP spinal construct to reduce the risk of revision surgery.  The cross connectors accommodate both 6.0mm and 6.35mm rods to increase construct versatility for the surgeon. 

Features and Benefits

ISSYS LP PAC (polyaxial cross connector) system features:

» Simple to Attach:  Top loaded snap on auxiliary implant is simple to attach to the rods using the one-step pistol grip insertion tool

» Enhanced Flexibility:  The polyaxial head and body provides a greater range of freedom.

» System Versatility:  Cross connectors accommodate both 6.0mm and 6.35mm rods

» Single Step Closure:  Pre-loaded set screws simultaneously lock onto the rod while locking the construct

» Improved Patient Comfort:  The transverse bar may be contoured to avoid spine anatomy.

» Broad Width Range:  Three transverse bar lengths provide 12 to 88mm of distance between rods


Indications for Use:

The ISSYS LP PAC (polyaxial cross connector) System is intended to help provide immobilization and stabilization of the spinal segments as an adjunct to fusion of the lumbar and/or sacral spine, specifically as follows:
