Overview

Visualize the outcome

Procedural efficiency
you can see

  • Robotic-assisted guidance with the Mazor X™ system
  • Preoperative planning and visualization of the procedure with StealthStation™ navigation
  • Enhanced visualization with titanium screw shank and tulip
  • Increased visualization of patient anatomy and graft site compared to preassembled screw with versatile access instruments and modular tulip assembly, in-situ
  • Adaptable to both open or minimally invasive mini-open approaches to treat degenerative procedures with ModuLeX™ 5.5 screw technology 

ModuLeX articulated screw

Modular solutions designed for operative flexibility

  • One size modular tulip
  • Compatible with the full CD Horizon™ 5.5mm rod options
  • Up to 50° (cone) of angulation between the head/tulip and shank assembly with the ATS screw, in-situ
  • Up to 54° (cone) of angulation between the head/tulip and the shank assembly with cortical screw, in-situ

Strength in the connection

  • The patented locking mechanism offers one-way secure modular shank and tulip connection.
  • A “one-way” connection provides confidence in connection assembly and construct stability.
  • The CD Horizon™ ModuLeX™ 5.5 construct provides comparable strength and stability compared to a CD Horizon™ Legacy™ spinal system.1
