Quartex offers a variety of solutions to the challenges associated with posterior OCT fusion while delivering paramount reliability and ease of use.
Quartex screw heads accept 3.5mm or 4.0mm rods in either titanium or cobalt chrome alloy and offer 90° of conical angulation.
Quartex allows surgeons to take full advantage of thoracic anatomy through the use of larger screws with diameters up to 5.5mm. Refined instruments facilitate construct assembly with efficient reduction options and intuitive screwdrivers.
“QUARTEX™ provides a single, seamless solution to posterior OCT fixation,” said Chad Glerum, Director of Fixation, Product Development.
“Our design team of engineers and spine surgeons scrutinized every aspect of the implants and instruments to optimize flow and functionality. We are excited to see QUARTEX™ provide a versatile OCT solution to propel Globus’ continued growth in this market.”
Dr. Richard Frisch added, “I’m excited that I can choose a 4.0mm rod for my longer constructs and larger diameter screws in the upper thoracic pedicles. The increased stiffness and bone purchase gives me a lot of confidence in the stability of the construct.
“The drivers provide firm attachment to the screws and the threaded locking caps engage easily, which help my cases run smoothly. QUARTEX™ is the most versatile system I have used and is a great addition to my practice.”
The QUARTEX™ Occipito-Cervico-Thoracic Spinal System implants are intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments as an adjunct to fusion for the following acute and chronic instabilities of the craniocervical junction, the cervical spine (C1-C7) and the thoracic spine (T1-T3): traumatic spinal fractures and/or traumatic dislocations.
