Advanced Rods and Screws for Spinal Fusion: Stability, Customization, and Longevity

In spinal fusion, rods and screws are integral components that provide stability and promote healing. These medical devices are primarily used to align and immobilize the spine during fusion surgery, ensuring that the vertebrae heal properly. Technological features of rods and screws include high-grade stainless steel or titanium construction, which offers corrosion resistance and biocompatibility. The design of these instruments allows for customization to a patient's specific anatomical needs, with rods that can be bent and shaped intraoperatively, and screws that come in various sizes and lengths. Applications of rods and screws in spinal fusion are widespread, from the treatment of conditions like scoliosis and kyphosis to addressing degenerative disc disease and spinal fractures.
