Dural Repair

Dural Repair

Dural tears are a common concern during traditional open or mini-open spine surgery, with studies showing as high as a 10% occurrence rate during lumbar stenosis procedures.^1-4 This page provides information and solutions for the management of incidental durotomies during endoscopic procedures.

JumpStart<sup>®</sup> Antimicrobial Wound Dressing

JumpStart^® Antimicrobial Wound Dressing

JumpStart antimicrobial wound dressing is an advanced microcurrent-generating dressing for the management of surgical incision sites. Microcell batteries made of elemental silver and zinc generate an electrical current when activated by conductive fluids, such as wound exudate, water-based wound hydrogels, saline, or water. These microcell batteries create microcurrents to support the body's natural electrical healing process and provide antimicrobial protection to assist with wound healing. JumpStart antimicrobial wound dressing has demonstrated broad-spectrum bactericidal activity against antibiotic-resistant strains of wound isolates within 24 hours.^1-3

Spine Scorpion™ Suture Passer

Spine Scorpion™ Suture Passer

The Spine Scorpion™ suture passer is ideal for closing the fascia up to 75% faster at the end of minimally invasive spine procedures.¹ Its low-profile design eases access for approaches through tubular or mini open incisions. The suture passer automatically passes and retrieves multiple types of commonly used sutures, such as 0 and 2-0 absorbable suture.
