Globus to Launch New Pedicle Screw System at NASS

Company claims it's the industry's "most comprehensive and versatile" system.

The annual meeting of the Chicago, Ill.-based North American Spine Society (NASS) always brings with it a flurry of new product announcements. This year’s installment (Oct. 9-11) in New Orleans, La., will be no different.

Audubon, Pa.-based Globus Medical, a musculoskeletal implant manufacturer, plans to launch CREO, the company’s next-generation pedicle screw platform.

“I am proud to announce the launch of CREO, the most comprehensive and versatile pedicle screw system in the industry. CREO offers surgeons the ultimate in adaptability, with the ability to intraoperatively tailor the construct to best meet individual patients’ needs in treating complex spinal pathologies. Our most ambitious product launch to date, CREO’s streamlined, intuitively designed instrumentation facilitates efficient and reproducible outcomes,” said Andrew Iott, senior vice president, Global Product Development. “This launch, focused on complex pathologies utilizing our patented non-threaded locking cap mechanism, represents the first phase in the evolution of the CREO platform. The system will also include options for MIS (minimally invasive surgery), cortical screws, as well as a threaded locking cap version.”

According to the company, the CREO and the CREO Advanced Modular Platform (AMP) Stabilization Systems enhance efficiency and ease of use by providing intuitively designed instrumentation and intraoperative versatility along with a complete array of implant options for treating complex spinal pathologies, in one system.

CREO pedicle screws are available in modular and pre-assembled versions with top-loading, side-loading and closed-head options. Rod diameters range from 4.75vto 5.5 millimeters and are available in titanium, cobalt chrome and stainless steel.
