Features and Benefits
Securis Screw System features:
» Stronger Bone Fixation: Advanced design allows the screw to be fully seated in the bone to creating a stronger bone fixation when compared to proud screws.
» Reduced Risk of Screw Loosening: Fully seated screws can withstand 63% greater shear force than proud screws due to the bone to screw interface. Proud screws must withstand much higher stresses at the screw-bone interface increasing the risk of breakage or loosening.
» Smaller Rod, Superior Stiffness: Chromium cobalt rods provide superior stiffness when compared to a titanium rod of the same diameter. The 5.0mm chromium cobalt rods allow for a lower profile construct without sacrificing strength.
» Cannulated Screw, System Versatility: The cannulated screws are available in a variety of diameters and lengths for flexible intra-operative selection. In addition, the screws can be used with an open, mini-open or percutaneous access technique.
» Low Profile: Smaller screw head and smaller rod diameter allows placement in close proximity to the bone.
» Optimal Screw Profile: Designed to withstand the higher pullout forces while inserting 40% faster than standard bone screws.
» Controlled Bone Screw Placement: The screwdriver holds the bone screw in a toggle free grip allowing the surgeon to drive the screw straight into the bone.
Indications for Use:
The Securis Spinal Fixation system is intended for immobilization and stabilization of the thoraco-lumbar-sacral spine (T1-S1) as an adjunct to fusion in skeletally mature patients for the following indications:
- Degenerative disc disease (defined as discogenic back pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies)
- Spondylolisthesis
- Dislocation
- Scoliosis
- Kyphosis
- Spinal tumor
- Failed previous fusion (pseudoarthrosis)
