Safe Orthopaedics takes on osteoporosis and bone metastasis: 4 observations

Spinal Tech

France-based Safe Orthopaedics' new products help treat osteoporosis and bone metastasis.

Here are four things to know:


    
1. The device stabilizes posterior spinal osteosynthesis and cement injectable through a cypress screw to improve its anchoring strength in osteoporotic or metastatic bone.

 

2. By enhancing anchoring strengths of cypress screws, the cement reduces the risk of postoperative instability and the need for another surgery.

 

3. Osteoporosis and bone metastatic disease make bones brittle by reducing their density. Osteoporosis mostly affects people over 65 and post-menopausal women.

 

4. Safe Orthopaedics' products greatly reduce the risk of cement leakage, as injections are performed directly into the vertebra with a single-use screwdriver.
