Hook | Titanium



+ Description
The Spinal Hook (Ti) is a titanium implant designed to anchor onto the lamina, transverse process, or pedicle of a vertebra, and integrate into a posterior spinal fixation system. It provides supplemental fixation or an alternative to pedicle screws in cases where screw placement is challenging or contraindicated.
Typically made from medical-grade titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V ELI), spinal hooks are compatible with rods (usually 3.5 mm or 5.5 mm) and are available in a variety of configurations such as laminar, pedicle, transverse process, and sublaminar hooks.
+ Indications
- Supplemental fixation in thoracic and lumbar spinal constructs
- Cases where pedicle screw placement is anatomically difficult or high-risk
- Adolescent scoliosis correction (especially with hybrid constructs)
- Spinal trauma where laminar support is viable
- Tumor or infection cases requiring non-pedicle anchoring
- Used in conjunction with rods and screws for spinal stabilization
- Often employed in scoliosis procedures and spinal deformity correction
- Can also be used in hybrid constructs (hook-screw systems)
+ Key Features
- Titanium Construction (Ti6Al4V ELI) : Lightweight, biocompatible, and non-corrosive Safe for use with MRI and CT imaging
- Multiple Hook Types : Available as upward-facing, downward-facing, open, and closed styles Designed to match various anatomical anchoring needs
- Strong and Stable Fixation : Provides secure mechanical grip on bony structures Acts as a reliable anchorage point in challenging cases
- Rod Compatibility : Connects easily to standard rod diameters (commonly 3.5 mm or 5.5 mm) Locking mechanisms ensure a secure fit
- Low-Profile Design : Minimizes tissue irritation and postoperative discomfort Optimized for use in both thoracic and lumbar spine regions
- Pre-Contoured & Customizable : Some versions come pre-shaped, while others are malleable for surgeon preference
- ISO 13485 & CE Certified : Meets international standards for medical implant safety and performan
