Stryker’s Spine division announced that it will commercially launch its Serrato pedicle screw at the North American Spine Society Annual Meeting.
A dual-lead screw intended for use in the non-cervical spine, the Serrato pedicle screw is part of Stryker’s Xia 3 Spinal System. The screws accommodate a variety of rod diameters and materials to suit the patient’s needs, according to a company press release. The first dual-thread screw with enhanced cutting flutes, the release noted that the Serrato pedicle screw is designed to reduce work by lowering the insertion torque. True-Tip geometry also allows for precise insertion and immediate bone engagement.
“We are thrilled to announce the full commercial launch of the Serrato pedicle screw during this important spinal surgery conference,” Bradley Paddock, president of Stryker’s Spine division, said in the release. “We have been receiving exceptional feedback from our surgeon customers since the initial launch and are excited to now make Serrato more broadly available to surgeons.”
