Bonetech - Model Magnifica™ FNC -Pedicle Screw System

The Magnifica™ FNC Pedicle Screw offers enhanced fixation through the innovative use of bone cement injection directly into the vertebral body upon screw placement. This technique aims to address the challenges of achieving adequate stabilization, particularly in patients with osteoporotic bones.

Intended Use

The Magnifica™ FNC Pedicle Screw is designed to be used alongside spinal fusion procedures. It provides increased stabilization for patients with acute osteoporotic bones, ensuring a more robust and secure spinal fusion.

Indications

The Magnifica™ FNC Pedicle Screw is indicated for the treatment of a variety of spinal conditions, including:

• Degenerative Disc Disease: Deterioration of spinal discs causing pain and instability.
• Spinal Stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal resulting in nerve compression.
• Fracture: Broken vertebrae requiring stabilization.
• Dislocation: Misalignment of the vertebrae that needs correction.
• Failed Previous Fusions: Cases where previous fusion surgeries did not achieve the desired stability.
• Tumors: Spinal tumors requiring surgical intervention.
• Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis: A unique application for correcting abnormal spinal curvature in adolescents.

Features and Benefits

Bone Cement Injection: The FNC pedicle screw allows for the injection of bone cement into the vertebral body, significantly reducing the risk of screw loosening regardless of patient gender, age, number of stabilized levels, or prior lumbar surgery.

Color-Coded System: Screws are color-coded by diameter, facilitating easy identification and selection during surgery.

Optimized Visualization and Access

Low Profile Implants: The implants are designed with a low profile, and the reducers are crafted with minimal bulk to improve visualization during surgery.

Locking Mechanism

Optimized Buttress Thread: The set screw features an optimized buttress thread that minimizes the potential for head splay and cross-threading, ensuring a secure and reliable connection.

Expanded Details

Bone Cement Injection

The Magnifica™ FNC Pedicle Screw allows for the controlled injection of bone cement into the vertebral body once the screw is placed. This feature is particularly beneficial in osteoporotic patients where bone quality is compromised. The bone cement enhances the screw’s purchase within the vertebra, mitigating the common problem of screw loosening and ensuring a more stable fixation.

Color-Coded System

The screws are color-coded according to their diameter. This color-coding system simplifies the selection process for surgeons, allowing for quick and accurate identification of the appropriate screw size during the procedure. This reduces the risk of errors and enhances surgical efficiency.

Low Profile Implants and Minimal Bulk Reducers

The design of the implants is focused on maintaining a low profile, reducing the prominence under the skin and potentially decreasing postoperative discomfort for patients. The reducers are designed with minimal bulk, which improves the surgeon’s visualization of the surgical field. This design feature is particularly important in complex spinal surgeries where precision and clear visibility are crucial.

Optimized Buttress Thread

The set screw’s optimized buttress thread design addresses common issues such as head splay and cross-threading. By minimizing these potential complications, the Magnifica™ FNC Pedicle Screw ensures a more secure and reliable locking mechanism, contributing to the overall stability and success of the spinal fusion.

Conclusion

The Magnifica™ FNC Pedicle Screw is a state-of-the-art solution for spinal stabilization, particularly in patients with osteoporotic bones. Its innovative features, including bone cement injection, color-coded system, low profile design, and optimized buttress thread, provide significant benefits in terms of fixation strength, ease of use, and surgical outcomes. Whether addressing degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, fractures, or adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, the Magnifica™ FNC Pedicle Screw stands out as a robust and reliable choice for spinal surgeons.
