S4® Element Open

Posterior Thoracolumbar Stabilization System

The S⁴® Element Spine System is a low profile and innovative thoracolumbar pedicle fixation system designed to address complex posterior pathologies. The S⁴® Element system features a sophisticated pressure vessel locking design capable of delivering biomechanical stability while maintaining an ultra-low profile.
The S⁴® Element Spine 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 trays are configured to include polyaxial screws, monoaxial screws, ilium screws, precut straight and pre-bent rods, rigid & adjustable cross connectors, and a variety of rod-to-rod connectors used to extend an existing construct in the event of a revision surgery or for new multilevel construct.

Indication:

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

Features:

• 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
