Low-Profile, Flexible System Treats Complex Spine Pathologies

By HospiMedica International staff writers
Posted on 11 Sep 2009
A new pedicle screw system provides spine surgeons with a specialized solution to correct multifaceted spinal pathologies such as scoliosis, kyphosis, trauma, and tumors.

The Preference 2 Complex spine system is a hook, rod, and pedicle screw system with a range of comprehensive instrumentation designed specifically to treat complex spinal pathologies, allowing multiple correction techniques. More...
The system consists of a series of components, including advanced correction instrumentation, cobalt chrome rods, lateral offset connectors, hooks, rod-to-rod connectors, and a low-profile cross connector. All anchoring implants within the system feature a helical flange closure mechanism, which interlocks the rod blocker and the screw seat, eliminating head splay and drastically reducing cross threading. The Preference 2 Complex spine system is a product of US Spine (Boca Raton, FL, USA), and has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

"We are very proud of our Preference 2 Complex spine system and the impact it allows us to make within the deformity, tumor, and trauma market,” said Paul Sendro, Executive VP of US Spine. "The Preference 2 instrumentation has been designed from the ground-up with a full emphasis on complex spinal pathology. With specialized instrumentation, surgeons using the system are able to achieve greater precision and control.”
