The Rod is the primary structural component of any posterior spinal fixation system. It connects the various screws and hooks to create a rigid construct that stabilizes the spine after fusion procedures, trauma, or deformity correction. The rod provides the necessary stability to hold the spine in the desired alignment while the bony fusion takes place. It is available in two main diameters (3.0mm and 5.5mm) and a wide range of lengths to accommodate different spinal segments (cervical, thoracic, and lumbar).
Key features include:
-
Primary Structural Component: Connects all screws and hooks to create a stable posterior construct.
-
Dual Diameters: Available in 3.0mm (Code No. 803) and 5.5mm (Code No. 806) diameters, suitable for different segments of the spine and loads.
-
Wide Length Range: 3.0mm rods range from 60mm to 150mm; 5.5mm rods range from 50mm to 500mm.
-
Material: Implied Titanium (common for spinal implants).
-
Primary Use: Stabilization and alignment of the spine during fusion procedures.
