Equation Spinal System
 
 
Medtronic, Inc.
The Equation™ System incorporates a semi-rigid design that balances strength with flexibility. The Equation™ System is a reduced-volume and top-tightening spinal instrumentation system. This system provides a means of fixation that mimics the load distribution of natural human anatomy (i.e., semi-rigid system designed to share, not bear, the load). Stabilizes the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine, especially as an adjunct to interbody construct placement. Assists with the reduction of spondylolisthesis and spinal deformities, such as kyphosis and hyperlordosis. Provides supplemental fixation
