Blazing Speed. Amazing Rigidity. Astonishing Simplicity. Our new Facet Fixation System™ will make you think twice before using pedicle screws to back-up an interbody fusion. Just squeeze the trigger, and the gun does the rest, compressing and firing a trans-facet bolt across the facet joint to immobilize a spinal motion segment.
The Facet Fixation System™ includes the Facet Gun™, a single-use, disposable gun that compresses the joint, sets the implant trajectory, and delivers the implant, all by squeezing the triggers on the hand piece; and the Facet Bolt™, an adaptive titanium implant construct that features a partially-threaded facet screw with a patented cutting tip, a variable-angle washer and a locking nut, which work together to lock the facet joint with tremendous strength.
And the whole system is sterile-packaged, with the implants pre-loaded in the barrel of the gun. No assembly or sterilization is necessary.
Now cleared for use in the United States by Food and Drug Administration. Click here to view the official press release.
