Concero is a minimally invasive fixation alternative to pedicle screws, intended to stabilize the spine during fusion procedures at single or multiple levels from L1 to S1 through bilateral immobilization of the facet joints.
It is available in multiple lengths and diameters in both cannulated and non-cannulated versions with customized instrumentation.
Concero system also features a toothed washer for improved bone fixation and a lag screw design for secure compression, eliminating the need for external compression mechanisms.
Concero system can be used in combination with other fixation devices in surgical cases in need of additional motion restriction.
Recent biomechanical testing shows the Lanx Aspen Spinous Process Fixation System coupled with Concero facet screws demonstrates overall stability and range-of-motion comparable to the Aspen device coupled with pedicle screws, and the Concero system construct may be a less invasive fixation method.
Spine & Brain Center of Eugene neurosurgeon Glenn Keiper said the system provides secure, reliable fixation and compression and is an effective alternative to pedicle screws, both in stand-alone or combined fixation procedures, and especially in the lower spine where the facet joints are more defined.
