Globus Medical Announces the SILC Fixation System for the Deformity Market
October 09 2014 - 6:16PM
Business Wire
Globus Medical, Inc. (NYSE:GMED), a leading musculoskeletal
implant manufacturer, continues to innovate in the treatment of
complex deformity with the launch of the SILC™ Fixation System.
SILC™ is a low profile sublaminar fixation system that is easy to
insert and provides the stability to perform standard reduction
maneuvers for correction of spinal curvatures, without the need for
pedicle purchase in all vertebrae.
SILC™ provides a simple solution for the full spectrum of
patients ranging from pediatric to adult in order to address
deformity correction, poor bone quality, and compromised anatomy.
The system consists of a polyethylene band that utilizes the
strength of the laminar cortical bone as well as a top-loading
clamp with integrated set screw that allows implant insertion at
any time during the procedure. SILC™ is compatible with rod
diameters ranging from 4.5mm through 6.5mm.
“This new system adds to our growing portfolio of leading
technological solutions, offering another option for deformity
correction. The SILC™ system works in weak or osteoporotic bone,
and in a variety of complex deformity curves, aiding in reduction
for vertebral segments in which pedicle fixation is not an option,”
commented Andrew Iott, Senior Vice President of Product
Development.
Indications
The SILC™ Fixation System consists of temporary implants for use
in orthopedic surgery. The system is intended to provide temporary
stabilization as a bone anchor during the development of solid bony
fusion and aid in the repair of bone fractures. The indications for
use include the following applications:
- 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 8 years of age and older, adult scoliosis, kyphosis,
and spondylolisthesis;
- Spinal degenerative surgery, as an
adjunct to spinal fusions.
The SILC™ Fixation System may also be used in conjunction with
other medical implants made of similar metals whenever “wiring” may
help secure the attachment of other implants.
