Spinal Simplicity Minuteman G5

The Minuteman® is a interspinous-interlaminar fusion device intended for the fixation and stabilization of the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine while awaiting bony fusion to occur. The Minuteman® is designed for attachment to the posterior non-cervical spine at the spinous processes through its bilateral locking plates, and it is intended for use with bone graft material placed within the device. It provides immobilization and stabilization of the spinal segments. The core threaded post allows for optimal placement and a wide range of sizes allows for enhanced anatomical fit. The Minuteman® is delivered sterile and individually packed.
The Minuteman G5 implant advancements include:
• Full control over the implant wings allowing the user to deploy and retract the wings intraoperatively.
• Single piece implant body minimizing the device profile without the need to remove a portion of the threaded body.
• 60° wing angle designed to provide improved biomechanical stability in response to axial rotation and lateral bending loading.
• Hydroxyapatite coated fixation hex nut designed to maximize bone-implant contact area and promote bone on-growth, stability, and fusion.
• Lower profile compared to Minuteman G3-R allowing the implant to be inserted down a smaller diameter sleeve from the MIS lateral approach.

Kyphosing the segment is a bad idea.
