Spinal Simplicity introduced Minuteman® G5, a minimally invasive, interspinous-interlaminar fusion device intended for the fixation and stabilization of the thoracic, lumbar and sacral spine while awaiting bony fusion. It is designed for attachment to the posterior non-cervical spine at the spinous processes through its bilateral grip plates, and it is intended for use with bone graft material placed within the device.
The Minuteman G5 features:
- Full control over the implant wings, allowing the user to deploy and retract the wings intraoperatively.
- A single piece implant body, minimizing the device profile without the need to remove a portion of the threaded body.
- 60° wing angle designed to provide improved biomechanical stability in response to axial rotation and lateral bending loading.
- Hydroxyapatite coated fixation hex nut designed to maximize bone/implant contact area and promote bone on-growth, stability and fusion.
- Lower profile compared to Minuteman G3-R, allowing the implant to be inserted down a smaller diameter sleeve from the MIS lateral approach.
