  • 0%

    up to 75% more control during spinal correction with Ennovate® PolyLock®

  • 0%

    less screw loosening thanks to Ennovate® PentaCore® [4], [10], [11]

  • 0%

    more long-term screw stability due to Ennovate® performance design [12]

“PolyLock® gives us the possibility of switching between the polyaxial and monoaxial screw at any time during the surgery, without the need for any further implants. This is a screw, which is useable, for perfect derotation maneuvers and curvature restoration, no matter if sequential or en-bloc. [17]”

Professor Martin Repko, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Faculty Hospital Brno, Brno, Czech Republic

“In our clinic we have a high number of elderly patients with osteoporosis, where we really appreciate the ease of use and the safe application of the cement, as well as the high intraoperative flexibility and versatility of the Ennovate® screws and the whole Ennovate® platform. [17]”

Professor Michael Rauschmann, Department for Spine & Reconstructive Orthopaedic Surgery, Sana Clinic Offenbach, Germany

Smart interface

Precision where it counts – The smart pressure mechanism enables toggle-free connection. This enables precise work in hands-free as well as navigated surgical steps.

/

Pedicle inspired thread

The design reflects the natural shape of the pedicle and shows a larger thread diameter in the upper part of the screw. In combination with the Dual Core design, the large proximal flanks create pullout resistance. [12-14]

/

Patented dual core

PentaCore® for voluminous anchorage in cancellous bone. Cylindrically shaped core for cortical bone compactation and stable anchorage. Plus 28% less tensile stress within the screw for improved long-term performance.[9,12,13]

/

Slotted fenestration

The fenestrated screws can be used for the application of various fluids. In case of poor bone quality, the combination of slots and the PentaCore® allows for a unique form fit which is more stable against rotational force.

/

EnnoTip

Smooth insertion of the self-tapping and self-centering thread – bone purchase and grip from the very first turn. Rounded, flat tip and quick-start thread allow improved bicortical anchorage of the screw. [12-14]
