Sacral Block | Titanium
+ Description
The Sacral Block is an implant used in lumbosacral fusion and sacropelvic fixation procedures. It serves as a rigid anchoring point at the sacrum, allowing secure connection of spinal rods or screws to the sacral region. Sacral blocks are often utilized in long-segment fusions, pelvic fixation, or reconstruction following sacral tumor resection or trauma.
Typically constructed from medical-grade titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI), sacral blocks are available in multiple configurations to accommodate S1, S2, or iliac fixation, and can feature integrated locking screws, slots, or saddles for precise rod placement.
+ Indications
- Lumbosacral Fusion in degenerative spine disease
- Sacropelvic Fixation in deformity correction (e.g., scoliosis, kyphosis)
- Spinal Tumor Reconstruction involving sacral resection
- Long-Construct Support in multilevel fusion from thoracic spine to sacrum
- Trauma Cases requiring secure distal spinal fixation Need for stable anchorage at S1 or sacral ala
- Inadequate bone quality in standard screw fixation zones Augmentation of iliac fixation in spinopelvic constructs
- High mechanical demand zones (e.g., obese or osteoporotic patients) Revisions where sacral fixation must be enhanced or replaced
+ Key Features
- Rigid Sacropelvic Anchoring : Provides robust distal fixation in lumbosacral and pelvic fusion constructs. Enhances stability in high-stress transition zones
- Anatomic Compatibility : Contoured design to match sacral surface anatomy Can be used bilaterally for symmetric stabilization
- Rod Interface Slots or Channels : Accepts standard rod diameters (e.g., 5.5 mm, 6.0 mm) Allows for precise rod seating and locking
- Secure Locking Mechanism : Integrated set screws or locking blocks ensure strong rod retention Prevents micro-motion at the sacral connection point
- High-Strength Material : Made from titanium alloy for biocompatibility, strength, and radiologic compatibility
- Low Profile Design : Minimizes tissue irritation and implant prominence Facilitates easier wound closure
- Modular or System-Specific Options : Compatible with most spinal fixation systems or as part of a sacropelvic module
