Zavation Medical Products, a designer and manufacturer of spinal implants, instruments, MIS procedural kits, and biologics, has launched the Cortical Screw, a screw designed for use in the cortical bone as an extension of the Zavation Spinal System. The Zavation Spinal System is intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of certain acute and chronic instabilities or deformities of thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine.
The Cortical Screw is the latest addition to Zavation's portfolio. It is designed to achieve greater cortical bone purchase with a smaller midline incision when using Cortical Bone Trajectory (CBT). The screw comes in a variety of sizes to provide an optimized fit for each patient and includes a self-tapping feature on both sides of the tip, as well as a 30 degree variable head angulation. This optimized fit allows for enhancement of structural stability while the thread design maximizes screw purchase. Standard and reduction screw options are offered and the reduction screw has a "break-off" tab available.
Dr. Graham Calvert, orthopedic spine surgeon at Mississippi Sports Medicine, stated, "I am very excited about the new cortical screw technology from Zavation. With 3 zones of variable thread pitch it is tailor-made for the cortical trajectory. The system is also extremely versatile with 4.5, 5.0, and 5.5mm diameter offerings. Overall it is the most compact, durable, and easy to implant cortical system on the market."
