Product Overview
The Aspen MIS Fusion System consists of a family of spinous process fixation devices designed for rigid, posterior fixation to promote fusion from T1 to S1.
• Less invasive alternative to traditional pedicle screws when used as an adjunct to interbody fusion
• Simple midline approach minimizes muscle and soft tissue disruption
• Unique, central barrel design provides load-sharing support and bone graft containment to facilitate fusion
Anatomical factors such as spinous process width and size/location of the facet may influence selection of implant.
Standard Implant
• For Aspen Standard, the implant barrel is 21mm long and may be best suited for a thick spinous process
Medium Implant
• With a medial-lateral dimension that is 3mm shorter in the barrel, the Aspen Medium implant may be preferred. A shorter barrel may help minimize incision size and impact on adjacent anatomy.
Flared Implant
• Optimized to address the unique and challenging anatomy at L5-S1, the Aspen Flared implant angle allows the implant to securely fixate at the laminar junction, rather than the more-parallel portion of the spinous processes.
When the Aspen system is used in conjunction with the Concero™ Facet Screw System, they offer a stable, minimally invasive hybrid construct that provides overall stability equivalent to bilateral pedicle screws. (https://www.zimmerbiomet.com/)
