FS3 Facet Screw <strong>Spinal</strong> System<br />

Cortoss<br />

The FS3 Facet Screw<br />

<strong>Spinal</strong> System is a cannulated<br />

screw system<br />

that accommodates<br />

a range of<br />

patient pathologies<br />

through a<br />

percutaneous or<br />

open approach.<br />

Intuitive design<br />

allows for fast,<br />

reliable and reproducible<br />

access<br />

and implantation<br />

over a guide wire<br />

with minimal exposure<br />

and dissection,<br />

resulting in reduced muscle<br />

and tissue trauma. The partially<br />

threaded screw design maximizes compression of the facet articular<br />

processes while the washer applies forces to the bone to<br />

enhance stability. The double helical screw thread design allows<br />

for faster screw insertion without compromising bone screw purchase.<br />

Cortoss is an injectable, bioactive composite that mimics the<br />

mechanical properties of human cortical bone and the first alternative<br />

to polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) cement evaluated in a<br />

large-scale, prospective, multi-center, randomized controlled<br />

study used for the treatment of vertebral compression fractures.<br />

Data from the IDE study prospectively comparing Cortoss and<br />

PMMA show that the therapeutic flow and fill of Cortoss results<br />

in:<br />
