CORUS™ Posterior Cervical Stabilization System (PCSS) is posterior spinal instrumentation with integrated screw fixation intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments.
CORUS PCSS is placed through a posterior surgical approach in up to 3 consecutive levels of the cervical spine (C3-C7) and achieves bilateral facet fixation by spanning the facet interspace at each level with points of fixation at each end of the construct.
CORUS PCSS is intended as an adjunct to posterior cervical fusion (PCF) and is only intended to be used in combination with an anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) at the same level(s).
CORUS PCSS is indicated for skeletally mature patients with degenerative disc disease (DDD). DDD is defined as radiculopathy and/or myelopathy, neck and/or arm pain of discogenic origin as confirmed by radiographic studies.
CORUS PCSS is to be used with autogenous bone and/or allogenic bone graft.
As with all medical devices, there are risks and considerations to device use. Please refer to the device labeling for a full discussion of potential risks, contraindications, warnings, precautions, and instructions for use.
* Posterior cervical and lumbar fusion can be performed using open or tissue-sparing techniques. Tissue-sparing technique may require special training, utilize indirect visualization, and/or increase radiation exposure.
