Antibacterial Silver Spinal System

Antibacterial Silver Screw System is a pedicle screw system which is used for the treatment of degenerative or pathologic diseases to achieve an artificial stabilization. The pedicle screw systems are considered the most common application for spinal column fixation. And the feautre of coating with nanoarticular silver ions distinguish Norm Antibacterial Silver Screw System from these pedicle screw systems. Length of the operation time in "transpedicular stabilization with screw-rod system", which has become one of the routine applications in spinal surgery, and predisposing causes like wideness of the incision or foreign material applications (titanium screws) carry an increased risk of infection. In case of infection growth antibiotic therapies and the increased hospitalization period increase greatly the cost of treatment. In addition, the available antibiotics may not always be sufficient to solve the problem and in some patients, removing of the implant is necessary with a second operation. The main purpose of this study is coating of the titanium implants used with nanoarticular silver ions and reducing the infection rate and risk.
