Product Overview
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
As one of the first companies to develop a modular pedicle screw system, Firebird NXG represents Orthofix's four generations of modular pedicle screw system experience. The system is designed for comprehensive posterior thoracolumbar surgical cases including degenerative disc disease. The next generation Firebird platform refines the modular screws, provides a lower profile body and simplifies instrumentation thus improving upon this already versatile system.
