Pedicle Screw System

Customer Need:

We listened to our medical device customer.  They sought an improved method for clamping pedicle screws.  They commissioned TriAxial to develop a design based on conceptual sketches.  These fasteners had to be designed to fit within the established surgical tray constraints.  There were various diameters and lengths to the family of products.

Added Value:

Working with the customer, we designed the screw threads, a head, and an unique clamping configuration for prototype manufacture.  Also, we developed instruments for installing the system and rod.

Result:

Our deliverables were a pedicle screw system and family accurately 3D modeled with a complete set of design documentation.  Customer satisfaction was achieved by meeting their design, documentation, time and cost objectives.  These have been built in prototypes and are being used in trials.
