ulrich medical Introduces the Cortium Universal OCT Spinal Fixation System

ulrich medical USA is following up the successful alpha release of its Cortium Universal OCT Spinal Fixation System with a full market launch.

Designed for surgical stabilization and fixation of the occipital, cervical, and thoracic spine, Cortium is a comprehensive posterior system that enables surgeons to address complex spinal pathologies with control, flexibility, and efficiency.

Its offering includes lateral mass, pedicle, smooth shank, and thoracic screws, high angulation tulips, various rods, and connectors, along with low-profile instrumentation.

“Cortium was engineered to simplify complex spinal procedures without compromising surgical efficiency,” said Eric Lucas, Ph.D., ulrich medical USA’s global vice president of R&D, Spinal Systems. “It’s been rewarding to see this system through every stage of its development; from early concept to now, a full commercial launch. We’re proud to bring this system to a broader surgeon audience and continue expanding our commitment to thoughtful design.”

Built for versatility and compatibility, Cortium can be used as a standalone OCT system or connected to Momentum, the company’s posterior thoracolumbar system, thereby enabling seamless extension across the entire spine. The system’s streamlined instrumentation and color-coded implant options are designed to reduce OR complexity while enhancing surgical confidence.
