Q

Explain 6 traits of the GPS Monoaxial Design

A

1) Generous cancellous buttress threads and tapered core for maximum fixation
2) One piece titanium design for maximum strength
3) Simple fast Insertion where variable Axis screw is not required
4) Cutting flutes 180 degrees apart enhance self tapping
5) Spondylolisthesis reduction screws for correction for greater TRAVERSE loading
6) Available in 4,5,6,6.5,7,7.5,8,8.5 mm diameters 25mm - 55mm length

Q

Explain 5 traits of the GPS Polyaxial Design.

A

1) Same design as the monoaxial with additional features
2) Accommodates anatomical positioning due to variable axis screw
3) Patented design knurl machining locks the screw axis into position
4) Color coded body for easy diameter identification
5) Available in 4,5,6,6.5,7,7.5,8,8.5 mm diameters 25mm - 55mm length
