DePuy Synthes launched two minimally invasive devices to help surgeons performing spinal fusion surgery: Viper Prime System and Concorde Clear MIS Disectomy Tool.
Here are five things to know:
1. The Viper Prime System combines various instruments, from needles to guidewires, into a single tool, requiring only two instrument trays.
2. Surgeons are able to target pedicles and insert the screw in a single instrument pass due to Viper Prime's screw tip design and stylet that give surgeons full control.
3. Viper Prime has showed a 33 percent reduction in pedicle screw insertion time while eliminating waste, processing costs and environmental impact.
4. The Concorde Clear MIS Disectomy Tool is a single-use instrument that uses standard operating room suction to remove degenerative discs in under four minutes. The tool also prepares the endplates in the same use, reducing tool passes and instrument exchanges.
5. Concorde's clear handle allows surgeons to visualize collection of disc material.
