S Spinal System
General information
4
The S Spinal System is a temporary implant system used to cor-
rect spinal deformity and facilitate the biological process of spi-
nal fusion. This system is intended for posterior use in the thorac-
ic, lumbar and sacral areas of the spine. Implants of this system
consist of hooks and/or screws connected to rods and are intend-
ed to be removed after solid fusion has occurred. This system in-
cludes polyaxial screws of varying diameters and lengths, fixed
screws of varying diameters and lengths, rods in varying lengths,
transverse connectors of varying lengths and designs, and hooks
in varying designs. All implant components are top loading and
top tightening. The implants in this system are manufactured
from titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI), conforming to ASTM F 136
and CP Titanium conforming to ASTM F 67.

The S Spinal System is a spinal rod, screw, transverse connector
and hook system. This system's polyaxial and fixed screws, hooks,
and transverse connectors can be rigidly locked into a wide range
of configurations, therefore, allowing each construct to be
formed to the needs of an individual patient. Rods of this system
are shaped intraoperatively to correct or maintain proper spinal
curvature.
The implants of this system are for single use only. An implant
should never be reused after being removed from the body or re-
sterilized after coming into contact with body fluids or tissues.
