Orthopedic surgery demands precise and reliable implants to restore function and stability. Among these, spinal fixation systems are essential for maintaining spinal alignment and supporting patient recovery. Understanding the various types of implants available allows hospitals and surgical teams to select solutions that match patient needs while ensuring safety and efficiency.
Pedicle Screw and Rod Systems
Pedicle screw and rod systems are the most commonly used spinal fixation devices due to their versatility and stability. These systems connect screws inserted into the vertebrae with rods to create a rigid structure that supports the spine during healing. At WEGO Medical, we emphasize careful selection of screw size and rod material to match patient anatomy and surgical requirements. Proper use of pedicle screw and rod systems minimizes the risk of hardware failure and improves the success of spinal fusion procedures.
Plates, Hooks, and Wires
Plates are frequently used in cervical spine surgeries to maintain alignment and provide secure fixation. They are typically contoured to fit the vertebrae and distribute stress evenly across the surgical site. Hooks or wires, although less common, are employed in specific cases where traditional screws and rods may not be suitable. We ensure that surgical teams understand the applications and limitations of these devices, allowing them to select the safest and most effective option for each patient. These alternatives provide flexibility in addressing unique spinal conditions while maintaining high standards of stability.
Modular Spinal Fixation Systems
Modular systems offer customizable solutions for complex spinal conditions. These devices include interchangeable components that allow surgeons to tailor the fixation system to individual patient anatomy and pathology. At WEGO Medical, we provide guidance on configuring modular implants to maximize surgical outcomes. The adaptability of these systems makes them particularly useful in cases involving multiple spinal levels or abnormal anatomy. By offering modular options, we support surgical teams in achieving optimal alignment, stability, and patient recovery.
WEGO Medical is committed to offering spinal fixation systems that are able to cater to the many requirements that are associated with orthopedic procedures. Our implant designs, which range from pedicle screw and rod systems to plates, hooks, wires, and modular solutions, are intended to bring about improvements in stability, safety, and the efficiency of the surgical procedure. It is also our responsibility to offer professional guidance and support in order to guarantee that surgical teams are able to confidently implement these technologies. We assist medical facilities in achieving reliable outcomes and improved patient care in every spinal treatment by combining the quality of implants with the practical competence of our team.
