PRODUCT NAME: MEDIIMPLANTES S.A. INTERNAL TUTOR FOR POSTERIOR THORACIC LUMBOSACRAL FIXATION
COMMERCIAL NAME: PRAXIS SYSTEM
REFERENCE: 102
MANUFACTURER: Mediimplantes S.A.
MANUFACTURING MATERIAL: Ti 6Al 4V ELI (Extra low interstitial) Alloy for Surgical Implant Applications – UNS R56401, ASTM F136-02.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
PRAXIS is a system composed of Schanz screws and ball joints and designed for use in the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral regions through posterior approach.
The ball joints allow to calibrate the angulation of the Schanz screws with ±15° in the sagittal plane, therefore allowing to correct spine anatomy in a very controlled fashion. The ball-joint’s design guarantees system rigidity after reduction and tightening.
INDICATIONS
– Ideal for fractures
– Posterior fixation of unstable fractures
– Tumors
– Degenerative spine instabilities
– Post-traumatic deformations
– Vertebral infections
– Spondylolisthesis
– Degenerative discopathies
– Scoliosis
– Thoracolumbar and lumbar kyphoscoliosis
STUDIES AND TESTS
– Standard Test Methods for Spinal Implant Constructs in a Vertebrectomy Model- ASTM F 1717-04
– ASTM E8 Mechanical and metallurgical characterization.
The Schanz screws are easily inserted thanks to their self-threading thread profile and are available in different diameters according to the area to where they’re intended to be implanted (Ø5mm for thoracic region, Ø6mm for the lumbar, and Ø7mm for the sacral).
The system is completely compatible with the ADVANCED System for instrumentations requiring use of sub-laminar hooks or polyaxial screws.
CERTIFICATES
– INVIMA Sanitary Registration Nr. 2007DM-0000664
– ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 Registrations
