Low-Profile Pedicle Screw System
| Scient’x USA announced the receipt of 510K clearance to market their new Isobar LP® Low Profile Pedicle Screw System. The Isobar LP® System offers a top-loading tulip-head design with an inner locking set screw to offer more space in the construct. The screws feature a self-tapping design and are available in a wide variety of diameters and lengths for thoracic, lumbar, and sacral areas. This pedicle screw system works in conjunction with the other components in the Isobar TTL system, including the EASYS Crosslink and Dynamic TTL-Rod, which provides controlled micromotion in compression, distraction, flexion, extension, and rotation. The Isobar LP Pedicle Screw System offers surgeons the option to use a smaller, lower-profile screw that, notes Scient’x, allows more space in the overall construct when used with the Dynamic TTL-Rod.
