The CORUS Spinal System instruments are used to access and prepare the posterior cervical spine for joint fusion by decortication of bone surfaces, including the posterior lateral mass and facet joints, combined with application of allograft or autograft in patients with or without anterior or posterior instrumentation. It is recommended that commercially available autograft or allograft be used to aid fusion. Autograft or allograft material is not supplied as part of the system.
An assembly of devices used to gain access to the spine by dilation of the overlying tissues for the placement and support of an endoscope. It typically includes the endoscope, a light source, a fibreoptic light cable, a camera control unit, a camera, and cannulae (portals). It is used for posterior or anterior access and visualization of a surgical area of the cervical, thoracic, or lumbar spine, allowing the surgeon to perform a procedure such as, a discectomy, nucleotomy, spinal fusion, spinal decompression, foraminotomy, or insertion of spinal implants. This is a reusable device.
