Lumbar interspinous vertebral implant SB series

thoracic

1. Spinal Stenoses 2. Vertebral Instabilities 3. Prevention of Juctional Problem FEATURES 1. Excellent exposure by frontal-windows 2. Dynamic retaining system 3. Special feature for sacrum(L5-S1; alligator clip) 4. Over 5,000,000 cycle dynamic endurance test cleared 1. Trials are utilized to define the appropriate implant size, after resecting the interspinous ligament. Trials instrument is placed to evalute the proper contact with the spinous process and amount of interspinous distraction. Some bony resection of the spinous process may be needed to ensure proper contact of the implant. Distraction is considered to be appropriate to prevent any settling of the insterspinous distance after successful decompression of the spinal stenosis. 2. After measuring the implant size, the surgeon can widen the wings of the implant for more convenient insertion. 3. Implant is introduced via impaction utilizing a guide. 4. If the wings are do not have sufficient bony contact after insertion, additional stability can be achieved by slightly crimping the wings with the compressor. 5. If a two level decompression is mandated, the implants must be sequentially placed to the appropriate depth, avoiding any overlap(contact) of one pair of wing on the other.
