S4® Element Spine System

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. It includes an open and a minimal invasive instrument module. Basing the design of the S4® Element MIS implants on the S4® Element open implants aim to provide a minimal learning curve and easier transition to MIS.

The S4® 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 a low profile.

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.
Wide implant selection
-Wide variety of connector implant sizes and styles enable compatibility with varying patient anatomies.
