This Nerve Graft Implant Improves Outcomes
and Efficiency
Provide safer, effective primary and secondary peripheral
nerve repair and reconstruction with the GEM Neurotube from
Synovis MCA. It's a single-use, absorbable woven polyglycolic
acid mesh designed to replace and improve upon the
traditional nerve graft technique for gap repair. Corrugated
walls deliver strength and permeability while preventing the
tube from collapsing under normal physiological soft tissue
pressures. Impressive flexibility easily accommodates joint and
associated tendon gliding movements. Neurotube resorbs in
eight months; no need for removal. Since Neurotube is
synthetic instead of a graft, there's no donor-site morbidity.
There's no hydration required prior to use and no special
storage requirements; shelf life up to five years.

Minimize Flap Loss, Reduce Needless
Re-Explorations
Synovis MCA brings you the marriage of two trusted tech-
nologies: the Flow Coupler device and a 20-MHz ultrasonic
Doppler, for use in end-to-end anastomosis to detect blood flow
and confirm vessel patency intra- and postoperatively at the
anastomotic site. The Flow Coupler is a single-use, implantable
device that includes a pair of permanently implanted rings that
secure the anastomosis, and a removable Doppler probe that
is press-fit onto one of the rings. When the Flow Coupler is
used in conjunction with the Flow Coupler Monitor, the Flow
Coupler System transmits audio of venous flow. It also has
Wi-Fi capability that allows remote monitoring of flow. Post-
operatively, blood flow can be detected on an as-needed basis
for up to seven days.

Get To Know This Cannula for
Kyphoplasty Surgery
Do you want more control, more height and more confidence
during kyphoplasty surgery for vertebral compression
fractures? It's yours when you use Medtronic's Kyphon Assist
directional cannula. Compared with standard access cannulas,
the Kyphon Assist can redirect 76% of the inflatable bone tamp
volume and increase the directional height by 37% for more
height restoration potential. The Kyphon Assist provides the
ability to inflate away from the lateral walls and endplate
defects. Compatible with Medtronic First Fracture Kits, Kyphon
Assist can be used with any size of inflatable bone tamp,
allowing flexibility for procedural goals and anatomic
considerations.
