The Virage System includes multiple polyaxial screw diameters and lengths. All Virage System polyaxial screws feature a unique 360° Omnidirectional extreme angle screw design. This unique design simplifies rod alignment and minimizes operating time. All Virage System polyaxial screws have a friction fit head to hold the desired position and facilitate rod placement, maximizing efficiency and safety during the procedure. The Virage System’s dual lead screws require fewer revolutions to seat in the pedicle allowing surgeons to insert screws twice as fast compared to a single lead screw. The Virage System offers adjustable head to head transverse connectors that can accommodate up to 20° degrees of freedom in different planes to improve intraoperative surgical flow. The Virage System also offers a variety of implant options including rod to rod transverse connectors, Ø3.5/5.5mm rod connectors, pre-cut and pre-bent Ø3.5mm Ti rods, Ø3.5mm CoCr rods, Ø3.5/5.5mm transition rods, lateral offset connectors, hooks, occipital plates, occipital eyelets, and Ø3.5/3.8mm pre-contoured and adjustable occipital rods. The Virage System instrumentation allows the surgeon the flexibility to build a construct that meets anatomical challenges and handles the pathology being treated. All implants in the Virage System (except the cobalt chrome rods) are manufactured from titanium alloy Ti 6Al-4V ELI. Rods are available in two different materials: titanium alloy and cobalt chrome. Occipitocervical Surgical Technique Implant Overview: The Virage System offers three adjustable occipital plate sizes to accommodate the patient’s anatomy. An occipital strap is available for fixation to the superior midline fixation hole. The Virage System offers Ø4.5mm / Ø5.25 occipital bone screws that have cortical threads. The Virage System has many occipital rod options including: adjustable titanium, pre-contoured titanium, and pre-contoured cobalt chrome. Rods transition to a 3.8mm diameter occipital portion to allow for a stronger construct. The Virage System utilizes QuickFlip Guides to allow for plate retention and drill/tap guidance at 2mm increments without changing instrumentation. Polyaxial Screws: Smooth Shank Screws: The Virage System polyaxial screws are available in diameters of 3.5mm, 4.0mm, 4.5mm, and 5.0mm. The lengths range from 10mm to 45mm depending on diameter. Refer to the table below: The Virage System smooth shank polyaxial screws are available in diameters of 3.5mm and 4.0mm. The length of the smooth portion varies with different screw lengths. The caddy will have two numbers associated with each screw size, the first being the length of the smooth portion and the second being the length of threaded portion. The sum of the two numbers will be the total length of the screw.

In general, the thickest bone in the sub occipital region is the occipital keel (internal occipital protuberance), near the midline. When positioning the occipital plate, it should be centered on the midline between the External Occipital Protuberance (EOP) and the posterior border of the foramen magnum. The goal is to maximize bone purchase (closer to EOP) while achieving a low profile. (Fig. 43) The Virage System offers three occipital plates to accommodate patient anatomy: Surgical Technique WARNING: Care should be taken during bone preparation to avoid damage to the occiput and to the surgical instruments. Instruments Size Widths Small 24-33mm Medium 32-41mm Large 40-49mm NOTE: There is a 1mm overlap between sizes. Each plate size has three midline holes and two lateral holes for occipital fixation. Placement of as many screws as possible is recommended. A minimum of two screws must be used; a minimum of three screws must be used if the plate is bent, including one screw in the superior hole. The occipital plates include rod connector housings that rotate up to 40° to ease rod placement. (Fig. 44) Virage OCT Spinal Fixation System – Surgical Technique 21 Occipital Plate Contouring Occipital Screw Hole Preparation Drilling Fig. 45 S Fig. 46 S Fig. 47 S Step 2, continued Step 3 Step 4 The Virage System occipital screws are available in diameters of 4.5mm and 5.25mm. (Fig. 45) Refer to the table below: The Virage System occipital plate can be contoured to fit a patient’s anatomy using the Occipital Plate Bender at the plate’s one bend zone at the superior hole. Reference the bend direction on the distal end of the Plate Bender. Ensure the Plate Bender is aligned with bend zone features by positioning the entire length of the plate’s groove in the Plate Bender’s center tip feature. Prior to bending, verify positive engagement visually and confirm by attempting to manipulate the plate in an alternating clockwise and counterclockwise fashion. A properly aligned plate/Plate Bender will not allow for any relative motion between the two devices. (Fig. 46) Three Occipital Drill/Tap Guides are available and each has a 2mm depth adjustment feature (6/8mm, 10/12mm, and 14/16mm). Diameter Length Increments Color Ø4.5mm 6mm-16mm Every 2mm Ø5.25mm 6mm-16mm Every 2mm Select the appropriate Occipital Drill/Tap Guide and connect to the 3/16" Handle. Engage the distal tip of the Occipital Drill/Tap Guide into the desired plate screw hole by pressing down until fully seated. Verify drill/tap depth by reading the depth markings on the top surface of the Occipital Drill/Tap Guide. (Fig. 47) WARNING: Bending the plate outside of the bend zone groove may result in cracking of the plate. The surgeon should always inspect the plate before implanting. WARNING: Do not reverse bend the plate. Reverse bending may result in a projectile fracture of the plate. NOTE: The plate may be bent up to 12˚ in either direction.

Insert the screw using either the Rigid or Flexible Hex Driver. Prepare lateral holes of the occipital strap in the same manner as occipital plate holes (i.e., drill depth equals bone screw length). A Rod Template may be used to determine the appropriate length and curvature of the rod. WARNING: Care should be taken to ensure the occipital screw is not driven in too deep. Ensure all screws are fully seated once the construct is assembled. An Allen Hex Wrench is available if the patient’s anatomy does not accommodate a Rigid or Flexible Driver. (Fig. 51) NOTE: When using the Flexible Driver, the Occipital Counter Torque may be used to maintain Driver/screw alignment during Driver insertion and removal. For the center hole, select an occipital bone screw that is 2mm longer than the drill and tap depth previously prepared before occipital strap placement (i.e., drill depth plus 2mm equals bone screw length). A minimum of two screws must be placed in the lower portion of the plate if the strap is used. (Fig. 52) NOTE: Markings on the Rod Template are every 10mm. The Virage System includes occipital rods in different configurations and materials: pre-contoured titanium, pre-contoured cobalt chrome, and adjustable titanium. Cut to length using the Rod Cutter.

General surgical risk should be explained to the patients prior to surgery. tImplantation of the Virage System should be performed only by experienced spinal surgeons tAll implants are intended for single use only. Single use devices should not be re-used. Possible risks associated with re-use of single-use devices include: - Mechanical malfunction - Transmission of infectious agents tMetal sensitivity has been reported following exposure to orthopedic implants. The most common metallic sensitivities (nickel, cobalt, and chromium) are present in medical grade stainless steel and cobalt-chrome alloys. tThe Virage System is a temporary internal fixation device. Internal fixation devices are designed to stabilize the operative site during the normal healing process. After healing occurs, these devices serve no functional purpose and should be removed. Implant removal should be followed by adequate postoperative management to avoid fracture or refracture. tUniversal precautions should be observed by all end users that work with contaminated or potentially contaminated medical devices. Caution should be exercised when handling devices with sharp points or cutting edges to prevent injuries during and after surgical procedures and reprocessing. tWarning: The safety and effectiveness of pedicle screw spinal systems have been established only for spinal conditions with significant mechanical instability or deformity requiring fusion with instrumentation. These conditions are significant mechanical instability or deformity of the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine secondary to severe spondylolisthesis (grades 3 and 4) of the L5S1 vertebra, degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurological impairment, fracture, dislocation, scoliosis, kyphosis, spinal tumor, and failed previous fusion (pseudoarthrosis). The safety and effectiveness of these devices for any other conditions are unknown. tPrecaution: The implantation of pedicle screw spinal systems should be performed only by experienced spinal surgeons with specific training in the use of this pedicle screw spinal system because this is a technically demanding procedure presenting a risk of serious injury to the patient. Additional preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative warnings and precautions: PREOPERATIVE tUsage of automated cleaning processes without supplemental manual cleaning may not result in adequate cleaning of instruments. tProper handling, decontamination (including pre-rinsing, washing, rinsing and sterilization), storage and utilization are important for the long and useful life of all surgical instruments. Even with correct use, care and maintenance, they should not be expected to last indefinitely. This is especially true for cutting instruments (e.g., bone awls/drills) and driving instruments (e.g., drivers). These items are often subjected to high loads and/or impact forces. Under such conditions, breakage can occur, particularly when the item is corroded, damaged, nicked or scratched. tNever use titanium, titanium alloy, and/or cobalt chromium with stainless steel in the same implant construct; otherwise, galvanic corrosion may occur. See DESCRIPTION section for Virage System materials and compatibility information. INTRAOPERATIVE tIf contouring of the implant is necessary for optimal fit, the contouring should be gradual and avoid any notching or scratching of the implant surface. Do not repeatedly or excessively bend the implant. Do not reverse bend the plate or rods. tBending plate outside of bend zone groove may result in cracking of plate. Surgeon should always inspect plate before implanting. tOcciput and pedicle bone integrity should be verified tCare should be taken during occiput and pedicle preparation to avoid penetrating too deep. tCare should be taken to ensure occipital screw is not driven in too deep tCare should be taken during bone preparation to avoid damage to the pedicle and to the surgical instruments. tCare should be taken to minimize soft tissue damage during surgery. tCare should be taken to avoid removing excess material from the Lamina. tCare should be taken to avoid crossthreading screws and closure tops. tIf any implant or instrument comes in contact with a non-sterile surface it should not be used. POSTOPERATIVE tAdequately instruct the patient. Postoperative care and the patient’s ability and willingness to follow instructions are one of the most important aspects of successful bone healing. The patient must be made aware of the limitations of the implant and that physical activity and full weight bearing have been implicated in fracture. The patient should understand that an implant is not as strong as normal, healthy bone and will fracture if excessive demands are placed on it in the absence of complete bone healing. An active, debilitated, or demented patient who cannot properly use weight-supporting devices may be particularly at risk during postoperative rehabilitation. tThe Virage System is a temporary internal fixation device. Internal fixation devices are designed to stabilize the operative site during the normal healing process. After healing occurs, these devices serve no functional purpose and should be removed. Implant removal should be followed by adequate postoperative management to avoid fracture or refracture.
