Page: 4 / 64

1. PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The EXPEDIUM VERSE SPINAL SYSTEM has two configurations. The first configuration utilizes the classic solid shank,
double lead threadform found on Expedium 5.5: in this document we will be referring to the classic solid screw version as
the EXPEDIUM VERSE Polyaxial Screw. The second is a more advanced, feature rich configuration which adds a fully
cannulated shank with fenestrations and the Cortical Fix threadform at the proximal end of the screw: this version is
known as the EXPEDIUM VERSE Fenestrated Cortical Fix Polyaxial Screw.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
EXPEDIUM
®
Pedigree
The EXPEDIUM VERSE System builds upon the more than ten years of clinical experience with the comprehensive
EXPEDIUM 5.5 System. Each implant component has been scrutinized and refined to deliver the features and performance
needed to address complex spine pathologies.
Simplicity through Design
The EXPEDIUM VERSE Pedicle Screw
serves as a powerful instrument to
facilitate correction maneuvers. The
result is a significant reduction in the
number of instruments required for
fusion procedures, potentially
simplifying the back table and reducing
the costs associated with reprocessing.
Speed and Versatility
The EXPEDIUM VERSE Pedicle Screw
combines the attributes of multiple
screw types, offering intraoperative
flexibility by allowing the surgical staff
to address unplanned circumstances
with one versatile implant, ultimately
delivering a more predictable
intraoperative experience.
Easier Rod Capture with Powerful
and Controlled Correction
The “hypermobility” or increased
angulation of the polyaxial head in
combination with the reduction tabs
simplify rod capture while providing a
powerful threaded reduction
mechanism that accommodates
controlled approximation of the spine
to the rod.
EXPEDIUM VERSE Spinal System
enables surgeons to perform
multiple correction maneuvers
with one versatile implant.
