DePuy Spine has launched the VIPER 3D MIS Correction Set, which is the first surgical instrumentation system designed specifically for minimally invasive three-dimensional correction of spinal deformities, according to a company news release.
The company featured its portfolio of minimally invasive and traditional solutions for degenerative disc disease, deformity and other complex pathologies at the annual meeting for the Scoliosis Research Society. The VIPER 3D Set is designed for surgeons to perform complex corrections, such as degenerative or adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, through small incisions.
The set includes the MIS Rod Inserter/Rotator for 360 degree correction, a spondy reduction lever to control sagittal alignment, derotation and correction frames, a multi-level compression and distraction device to control orientation at individual levels and approximation tools for seamless rod reduction.
