Autonomously functioning arms that remain parallel on the rod, even when the rods are at different angles.
The pinnacle of the Swedge™ system is the inventive Cross-Link, which fully expands in three convenient sizes: small, 28-34mm; medium, 33-43mm; and large, 43-64mm. Both arms are fully articulated, allowing surgeons to accommodate diverging rods without having to bend the Cross-Link, providing more capability and reduced fiddle factor.
Thanks to the Cross-Link’s superior angulation, each autonomously functioning arm remains parallel on the rod–even when the rods are at different angles. Because the cross-link doesn’t have to bend, this delivers greater holding force, which minimizes stress risers and enhances strength and durability.
This advanced cross-link spine technology offers impressive flexibility and strength, making it a game changer for procedures like posterior spinal fusion with instrumentation.
