The EVEREST System is a top-loading polyaxial pedicle screw system that is able to accommodate multiple levels of fixation rigidity to help surgeons individualize patient care. The system provides for titanium and cobalt chrome rods of two different diameters — 5.5 and 6.0 mm — limiting inventory and increasing adaptability.
The device is designed to maximize osteoporotic and dense bone fixation, and the modified square thread of the locking set screw may reduce the potential for cross-threading. Additionally, the mixed material screw head minimizes splay, which improves the biomechanical performance of the construct.
