Executive Summary
Wrightlock, Wright Medical Technology's spinal fixation system, has received US FDA marketing clearance. The dual-rod system uses snap-on, drop-in Morse-type taper sleeves instead of screws and nuts. Wright says this reduces operating time and gives reliable locking. The system is made from stainless steel and comes with a range of hooks, screws, rods and coupling devices.
