Globus Medical launched the SILC Fixation System for spinal deformity procedures.
The low profile sublaminar fixation system is designed to provide necessary stability during standard reduction maneuvers for spinal curvature correction without needing pedicle purchase in all vertebrae.
The system can provide correction for pediatric to adult patients, patients with poor bone quality and patients with compromised anatomy. The indications for use are:
• Spinal trauma surgery, used in sublaminar interspinous or facet wiring techniques;
• Spinal reconstructive surgery, incorporated into constructs for the purpose of correction of spinal deformities such as idiopathic and neuromuscular scoliosis in patients eight years of age and older, adult scoliosis, kyphosis and spondylolisthesis;
• Spinal degenerative surgery as an adjunct to spinal fusions.
