Designed with Purpose
MISquito was designed in order to provide an alternative method of rod insertion and fixation that minimizes soft tissue disruption, incision size and the use of fluoroscopy. The MISquito MIS technique, used in conjunction with the PedFuse® Respond® Pedicle Screw System, is a method for percutaneously delivering a pedicle screw and rod construct. MISquito’s innovative rod guidance system allows surgeons to control and guide both ends of the rod as it is inserted into its optimal position.

Features & Benefits
Variety of Tulip Lengths
A variety of tulip lenghts accommodates diverse patient sizes, making MISquito ideal for a range of surgical scenarios.
Long Threaded Tulips
MISquito’s long threaded tulips allow for early rod reduction and set screw capture. With up tp 25 mm of rod reduction, these internal tulip threads can accommodate grades 3-4 spondylolisthesis, reducing surgical time.
Fixed Set Screw Instrument
This proprietary fixed set screw instrument preliminarily fully seats the rod into the tulip for provisional rod reduction, allowing a view of the final construct before the rod is detached from the rod inserter.

Indications
The SpineFrontier® PedFuse® Pedicle Screw System is intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of the following acute instabilities or deformities of the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine: degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurological impairment, fracture, dislocation, scoliosis, kyphosis, spinal tumor, and failed previous fusion (Pseudoarthrosis).In addition, the PedFuse® Pedicle Screw System is indicated for the treatment of severe spondylolisthesis (Grade 3 and 4) of the L5-S1 vertebra in skeletally mature patients receiving fusion by autogenous bone graft, with the device fixed or attached to the lumbar and sacral spine.When used in a percutaneous approach with MIS instrumentation, the SpineFrontier® PedFuse® Pedicle Screw System is intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion in the treatment of the following acute instabilities or deformities of the thoracic, lumbar, and sacral spine: degenerative spondylolisthesis with objective evidence of neurological impairment, fracture, dislocation, scoliosis, kyphosis, spinal tumor, failed previous fusion (Pseudoarthrosis) and severe spondylolisthesis (Grade 3 and 4) of the L5-S1 vertebra in skeletally mature patients receiving fusion by autogenous bone graft, with the device fixed or attached to the lumbar and sacral spine.
