Implant System to facilitate the contiguous application of dynamic and rigid stabilization for the thoraco-lumbar spine

Abstract (German)

The project directive is a complete product development of a pedicle screw based spinal stabilisation system that will treat different stages of spinal degeneration segmentally. Enabling unique modularity and combinations of metallic and elastomeric fixation of different stiffness and rigidity. Scientifically, different elastomeric implant stiffness possibilities will be evaluated to ultimately indicate patient specific treatment for different stages of pathological degeneration.
