What type of implant does Isola spinal instrumentation use?

Isola spinal instrumentation primarily utilizes a combination hook and screw method for its implants. This design allows for a versatile and secure fixation of the spine, combining hooks that can attach to the lamina or pedicles and screws that can anchor into the vertebral bodies. This method provides strong axial and rotational stability, which is critical during spinal procedures to ensure proper alignment and support of the spine during healing.

The combination of hooks and screws offers the advantage of being able to adjust and fine-tune the spinal alignment, accommodating various anatomical variations in patients. Furthermore, the screws provide direct purchase in the vertebra, enhancing the overall stability of the construct during and post-surgery, which is essential for successful surgical outcomes.

This design stands out in comparison to other implant systems, as each of those utilizes different fixation methods that may not offer the same level of versatility or stability.
