Biedermann Motech Expands its MOSS!MODULARITY Platform

Biedermann Motech has introduced and added several new solutions to its MOSS!MODULARITY spinal surgery platform.

MOSS!MODULARITY encompasses a broad range of products and technologies that provide an advanced modular workflow for posterior stabilization and deformity correction. The modular workflow allows surgeons to place headless bone screw shafts as a first step without the tulip heads attached, and offers several advantages over working with traditional pre-assembled pedicle screws, e.g.:

• Improved visualization and access to the surgical working space;
• Precise decompression, decortication and osteotomies without any interference with polyaxial tulip heads;
• Increased surgical versatility, as surgeons can choose between different types of modular screw shafts and various tulip heads to be added to the screw shafts in-situ as and when required.

Breaking new ground, Biedermann Motech will now introduce the MOSS!MODULARITY Injection Screw to selective markets outside the U.S. Fenestrated injection pedicle screws for spinal surgery enable the injection of bone cement through the screw to enhance fixation in compromised bone.¹ The new injection screw workflow allows surgeons to insert the headless screw shaft directly into bone, using the injection adaptor as the screw inserter, and then seamlessly inject bone cement before attaching the modular tulip heads to the screw shaft. The MOSS!MODULARITY Injection Screw workflow features proprietary technology licensed from Biedermann Technologies GmbH & Co. KG and will be the first of its kind worldwide, according to the company.

Simultaneously, Biedermann Motech will launch the next generation of its DELTA XS Retractor System for advanced Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF) surgery. The DELTA XS 2.0 Retractor System has been specifically developed to combine the advantages of a screw shank based retractor with the benefits of the MOSS!MODULARITY workflow and can be used in various surgical techniques and approaches, from open to less invasive, microsurgical TLIF surgery.

The MOSS!MODULARITY Injection Screw and the DELTA XS 2.0 Retractor System are fully compatible with the MOSS 100 Modular Pedicle Screw System, the MOSS VRS System and the MOSS VRS MIS System for advanced posterior fixation and correction and will further strengthen these platforms for specialized spinal surgery.
