Launch of romeo® lumbar fixation

Geneva, December 10th 2006. SpineArt, leader of a new spinal generation, has completed the launch of its innovative lumbar fusion range. Dr. Lapras and Dr. Vadier, spinal surgeons in Annecy and Bordeaux, France, have successfully implanted SpineArt’s first polyaxial pedicular screws, ROMEO®. The screw is characterized by a streamlined tip, powerful thread, and a minimally invasive head. As with all of SpineArt’s designs, the ROMEO® screws can be implanted utilizing a simplified set of only twelve high quality ancillaries, and can be strengthened by an Autostable Transverse Hook system.
