FDA has cleared a Stryker 510(k) for the Serrato Pedicle Screw, intended for use in the non-cervical spine as part of the company’s Xia 3 Spinal System. The device features serrated cutting flutes, a dual-thread pattern with an increased number of leads for rapid insertion, and a patented buttress thread locking mechanism designed to minimize cross threading and splaying of the screw head, according to the company. The screws accommodate a variety of rod diameters and materials to suit the patient’s needs — 5.5 and 6.0mm diameter rods in commercially pure titanium, titanium alloy, and Vitallium, it adds.
