Product catalog summary
Specifications
The Ortholox UHMWPE Spinal Posterior Fixation Dual Band System features a 2 x 250mm UHMWPE woven polymer cerclage band and Ti6AI4V ELI Titanium Alloy pre-assembled tulips. It offers strong internal fixation without bone drilling, reduces contact stress, and is MRI compatible. The system is designed for minimal metallic contact with bone, reducing corrosion risk, and features a low profile for patient comfort. It is indicated for spinal reconstructive surgery and correction of deformities.

Surgical Technique
The surgical procedure involves several steps: bending the titanium guide strip, passing the UHMWPE band under the lamina, attaching the band to the spinal tensioner, and securing it with a set screw. Instruments required include the Ortholox Spinal Tensioner, Simple Screwdriver/Nut Holder, and Anti-Torque Wrench. The technique is minimally invasive, reducing surgery time and trauma risk.

Ordering Information
Implants are available in various sizes for different rod diameters, and a complete set of instruments is available for the procedure. Specific product codes are provided for ordering.

Warnings and Precautions
Packaging should not be used if damaged. The system should only be used by experienced surgeons familiar with sublaminar fixation principles. Contraindications include infection, metal allergies, severe osteopenia, and other conditions.
