TANTO® Anchors
TANTO® is a revolutionary pedicle anchor designed to perfectly match the anatomy of the pedicle, improving load transfer within the vertebral body. This innovation enhances toggling stability, even in challenging bone conditions without the use of PMMA.
0% bone cement – 50% more stability
- Inner Screw Diameter: Ø5.5 – Ø8.5
- Outer Screw Diameter : Ø9 – Ø15 mm
- Length: 45 – 60 mm
- Drive: Auto-Fit Drive T25
- Features: cannulated ,double-lead threaded
50%* more toggling stability
Pedicle screw toggling is one of main reasons for implant loosening with an average incidence of 22% (ranging between 1.3% and 41%)1-5. Instead of injecting bone cement, we came up with a bone tissue preserving solution; TANTO®.
The TANTO® screw is an anatomically optimized pedicle fixation anchor that would eliminate biological and clinical risk of using bone cement. Our innovative cementless TANTO® screw is biomechanically superior to all current fixation concepts and could offer unrivaled stability against toggling.
