Complex spine technologies made simple company, K2M Group Holdings, Inc., has taken the opportunity presented by the Scoliosis Research Society (SRS) 50th Annual Meeting in Minneapolis, Minnesota at which to announce the U.S. commercial launch of its EVEREST® Deformity Spinal System. EVEREST Deformity is an expansion of the EVEREST family of products, which includes the EVEREST Degenerative and EVEREST Minimally Invasive Spinal Systems.
K2M says its EVEREST Deformity Spinal System includes state-of-the-art implant technology with several enhancing attributes to facilitate more efficient intraoperative use of the system. It features a top-loading pedicle screw in a variety of screw types and offers the ability to accommodate titanium and cobalt chrome rods in two different diameters. The Basecamp™ Deformity Rod Reducer, the system’s efficient and versatile instrumentation, provides surgeons with multiple options during surgery in one system to help address the most difficult correction maneuvers for complex spinal pathologies.
Another key feature of the EVEREST Deformity Spinal System is the Basecamp Deformity Rod Reducer, which provides 60 mm of quick or controlled rod reduction. Basecamp replaces the need for reduction screws, offers segmental reduction of the rod, and provides intraoperative flexibility. Placement of multiple Basecamp Tubes allows for sequential reduction and correction of the spine.
