Polyaxial pedicle screw 70-77 series

cannulatedmetallic

Being polyaxial, p|spine pedicle screws allow for an easy positioning and facilitate the fitting. Due to the self-tapping threads pre-drilling becomes obsolete, which later on increases the stability within the vertebra. The specific tulip-shaped design of the self-locking thread prevents the set screw from loosening and provides the possibility of a very low profile. All screws are cannulated and a colour coding ensures that the right size is quickly identified. The p|spine screws are entirely manufactured from a high grade titanium alloy (TiAI6V4). Rods made of titanium or nitinol support a rigid, as well as a dynamic stabilization of the spinal column. The p|spine pedicle screws are supplemented by a complete set of instruments, fully cannulated and made in Germany of high quality stainless steel Ackermann provides a full range of sizes with diameters from 5 mm to 7.5 mm and lengths from 25 mm up to 70 mm. Additionaly, the p|spine screws are completed by the cement screws, which are available with the diameter 6.5 mm and lengths from 35 mm up to 50 mm.
