Q

What encompasses RodSync Technology?

7 main points

A

Angulation where needed. MAS head of screw offers 60° of angulation in any direction.

8.7mm of medial/lateral offset without the use of lateral connectors

Friction fit saddles help MAS head maintain position when capturing rod in head of screw.

24% more full threads for increased engagement in bone and stronger tactile feel

Tapered, self tapping tip design to facilitate location of pilot hole.

Extended size range offering

  1. 0 - 8-34 (2mm increments)
  2. 5 - 8-42 (2mm increments)
  3. 0 - 8-42 (2mm increments)
  4. 5 - 8-42 (2mm increments)
  5. 5 - 15-40 (5mm increments) “transition screw”

Q

What is rod stiffness and how does it effect clinical results?

A

The resistance to deformation(bend) when a force is applied

Stiffness maintains stability. Higher the stiffness of a rod, requires more force to bend. Consider a rod with high stiffness to maintain correction under high construct demands

Q

What is Yield Strength?

A

The amount of force necessary to cause a PERMANENT bend in the rod.

A rod with lower yield strength requires less force to permanently bend and holds it shape (less spring back)

Q

What is notch sensitivity?

A

The tendency of notches to form in the rod.

Notches are indentations on the rod caused by bending and can reduce fatigue strength of a rod and ultimately lead to rod breakage or construct failure.

Materials that are less notch sensitive can withstand higher compression fatigue loads

Q

What are main features of Occipital Adjustable plates?

A

3 home midline fixation to the Occiput to maximize bone purchase in the midline

Rotating and translating saddles to facilitate rod placement

Arched shape of the plate for bone grafting on occiput

Pre-contoured with a radius of curvature for an Anatomic fit to the occiput

Two sizes to accommodate varying patient anatomies
