Small Stature USS
Indications: This system allows reduction and stabilization of the thoracolumbar spine for the treatment of deformity, degeneration, and trauma. Features such as profile height and implant shape have been modified to accommodate pediatric patients and patients of small stature. The low profile and dual-opening feature of the Small Stature system offers a more competitive system while retaining the AO principles for the correction of scoliosis and other sagittal plane deformities.
The new USS Paediatric Pedicle Screws are easy and quick to insert. This is due to the rounded and threaded tip and the double lead design, which allows for an immediate grip in the bone and a depth gain of almost 4.0 mm per 180 turn.
For insertion into the bone, attaching the screws to the new sticks with the hex coupling is fast and safe.
