SYNAPSE SYSTEM

June 1, 2016

The Synapse System is an enhanced set of instruments and implants, including clamps, top-loading variable axis screws, hooks, transverse connectors and transverse bars and rods, designed for posterior stabilization of the cervical and upper thoracic spine. The implants provide flexibility required to accommodate variations in patient anatomy. The Synapse System uses 3.5 mm and 4.0 mm rods, allowing components from Axon and Occipito-Cervical Fusion System to be used interchangeably.  This allows the construct to extend from the occiput to the lower spine using the Occipito-Cervical Fusion System and the Universal Spine System (USS), Matrix Spine System – Degenerative, or any other Synthes posterior rod-screw system.
