Medtronic Announces The Availability Of The CD HORIZON LEGACY 4.5 Spinal System With G4 Technology
Memphis, TN - Medtronic, Inc. announced the U.S. availability of the CD HORIZON LEGACY 4.5 Spinal System with G4 Technology. The CD HORIZON LEGACY 4.5 Spinal System combines the clinically proven deformity reduction capabilities of the CD HORIZON LEGACY 5.5 and 6.35 Spinal Systems with a lower profile implant design for better patient matching.
The CD HORIZON LEGACY 4.5 Spinal System is designed to treat smaller patients with spinal deformities using a best-in-class posterior instrumentation solution. The system, with a 4.5mm surgical rod implant, combines the proper balance of flexibility, strength and profile for smaller stature patients while the screws, available in multiple diameters, provide surgeons with a more precise fit in various anatomies.
The CD HORIZON LEGACY 4.5 Spinal System features the G4 closure technology - a reverse-angle set screw designed to thread more easily and increase construct strength while minimizing the implant's head size.
