S4® Element

Posterior Thoracolumbar Stabilization System

The S Element Spine System is a low profile and innovative thoracolumbar pedicle fixation system designed to address complex posterior pathologies. It includes an open and a minimal invasive instrument module. The streamlined design and easy-to-use instrumentation provide a minimal learning curve and easier transition to MIS.

The S Element system is a top-loading low profile pedicle screw system that offers a broad selection of implants and instruments that are designed to meet the surgeons demand for a quicker yet simpler surgical procedure. The pedicle screw features a sophisticated pressure vessel locking design capable of delivering biomechanical stability while maintaining an ultra-low profile.

Features

Implants

  • Small implant volume
    • Maximize screw head range of motion.
    • Reduce the risk of facet and soft tissue impingement.
  • Patented interlocking thread design
    • Minimize splaying of screw body.
  • Pressure vessel technology
    • Transfer energy throughout the polyaxial screw construct transforming it into a solid monoaxial construct, achieving maximum construct stability.
  • Undercut thread design
    • Help eliminate cross threading by directing the force inward, improving force transmission and efficiency throughout the rod-screw construct.
  • Augmentation screws
    • Cement distribution through side slots.
    • Both augmentation screws and injection cannula are single sterile packed.
  • Optimal implant fit
    • Wide variety of connector implant sizes and styles enable compatibility with varying patient anatomies.

Instruments

  • Operational Simplicity
    • S Element offers intuitive, streamlined instrumentation to facilitate efficiency in the OR workflow.
  • Slim Profile Technology
    • Slim profile of instruments allows for a smaller incision and easy instrument manipulation in tight anatomical spaces, while the low profile screw reduces anatomical impingement.
  • Minimal Surgical Conversion Risk
    • Rescue technique and instrumentation help to reduce risk of converting to an open procedure during MIS.

Indication

Thoracolumbar spine stabilization in cases of:
Fractures, dislocation, degenerative instability, post-discectomy syndrome, spondylolisthesis, post-trauma instability and tumors.
