Universal Clamp—Surgical Technique Guide

Zimmer Biomet Spine does not practice medicine. This technique was developed in conjunction
with health care professionals. This document is intended for surgeons and is not intended for
laypersons. Each surgeon should exercise his or her own independent judgment in the diagnosis
and treatment of an individual patient, and this information does not purport to replace the
comprehensive training surgeons have received. As with all surgical procedures, the technique
used in each case will depend on the surgeon’s medical judgment as the best treatment for each
patient. Results will vary based on health, weight, activity and other variables. Not all patients are
candidates for this product and/or procedure.
