OPTIMA  ZS Spinal Fixation System OPTIMA™  ZS Spinal Fixation System

The low-profile, in-line, polyaxial pedicle screw system

The OPTIMA ZS Spinal Fixation System is a low-profile, comprehensive, polyaxial pedicle screw system that provides three-dimensional adjustability for simple, stable construct assembly.

Advanced polyaxial system

The OPTIMA ZS System’s advanced polyaxial screw design allows optimal screw placement and simplified construct assembly.

 Advanced polyaxial system

Polyaxial screw

  • Provides 57° of angulation
  • Accommodates anatomical variations
  • Reduces the need for precision coronal rod bending
  • Makes construct assembly simple
  • Provides greater flexibility in screw placement

 Polyaxial screw

Modified square-thread (trapezoidal) set screw  

 Tulip-shaped screw head

 Self-tapping cylindrical screw

Modified square-thread (trapezoidal) set screw

  • Reduces the potential for cross threading
  • Provides a one-step locking mechanism
  • Contributes to overall low profile
  • Maximises locking performance with minimal torque

Tulip-shaped screw head

  • Retains polyaxial nature after screw placement
  • Allows deeper screw placement, contributing to overall low profile
  • Retains polyaxial nature for adjustment and revision

 

Self-tapping cylindrical screw

  • Constant major and tapered minor diameters
  • Maximises screw purchase
  • Provides maximum pull-out strength
  • Eliminates the need for tapping

Precision placement

The instrumentation range that supports the preparation and placement of cannulated pedicle screws enables more accuracy.

  • Cannulated Awl, Bone Probe and Taps for accurate preparation of pedicle canal
  • Straight Bone Probe is graduated to aid in determining hole depth.
  • Cannulated Screw Driver allows for precision placement at the pedicle screw over a 1.6mm K-wire.

 Precision placement

Cannulated screw systems

Cannulated screw versions of the OPTIMA ZS, the OPTIMA ZS Transition Screw and the Dynesys Top Loading Screw also allow Zimmer DTO Implant surgeries to be performed using the screw precision placement technique.

 Zimmer DTO Implant

Zimmer® DTO? Implant

Different stages of spinal degeneration require a different solution.

Zimmer Spine integrates two leading systems to offer a segmental solution that treats varying stages of disc degeneration in the lumbar spine.

Since spine degeneration is a continuous process that often effects adjacent segments at different rates,1 a treatment option that can cover the entire range of lumbar spine degenerative pathologies could enhance a patient’s activity level and overall quality of life. This solution is integrated into the Zimmer DTO Implant.

The Zimmer DTO Implant combines the rigid stabilisation of the OPTIMA ZS Spinal System with the Dynesys® Dynamic Stabilisation System to offer a new segmental solution for treating degenerative lumbar spine pathologies with different stages of degeneration at contiguous levels.

This new technology solution helps avoid over- or under-treatment by providing surgeons with a way to neutralise and prevent segmental disstability.

The Zimmer DTO implant’s leadingedge technology gives surgeons greater flexibility to provide a more precise stabilisation effect.

Advantages of customised stabilisation

  • Real transition from a rigid system to a proven dynamic system
  • Varying stiffness of the systems
  • Familiar posterior approach
  • Versatility
  • Reproducibility
  • Preservation of the anatomy
