A pedicle screw spine stabilisation course introducing the invetra system
Pedicle screw fixation systems have been standard in human practice for quite some time. Only now though has a system been designed and manufactured from the ground up specifically for the veterinary industry in a 5.5mm and a 3.0mm system.
The course is a varied mixture of theory and practical, but with the focus heavily on the practical aspect. An initial surgery on a real-case 3D model will be undertaken by each participant before moving into the wet-lab. This model will be kept by each attendee.
9.30 - 10.00 Lecture
10.00 - 10.30 Laboratory
Introduction to equipment and application of 4.5mm pedicle screws on the 3D printed model

A pedicle screw spine stabilisation day introducing the invetra system followed by a second day of advanced neurosurgery subjects and practicals
The course, given in English, is a varied mixture of theory and practical, but with the focus heavily on the practical aspect.
Day 1 involves lectures, dry-lab and wet-lab environment launching the new versatile invetra™ pedicle screw fixation system. During this you will learn about pedicle screw technology, its history, its ease of us and its superiority to pins and PMMA. By starting initial surgery on an anatomically correct 3D printed model, this will then be yours to take away.
Day 2 is then a more varied day covering a variety of topics for surgeons wishing to expand their repertoire. Incorporating some innovative and ground-breaking products this second day is thought-provoking and inspiring.

Empowering you with knowledge to improve animal care
Giving you the ability to heal and improve patients lives
Enabling you to have confidence to increase your surgical repertoir
The support you receive doesn’t stop once you leave the classroom
We offer a platform solely dedicated to online education offering an array of objective knowledge tools, webinars, bite-size courses and hubs, many of which are available at no cost allowing you to not be restricted to learn and develop skills to improve the industry.
Also, we are the first animal health company to bring virtual reality training technology to the veterinarians worldwide. RoVR™, the first-of-its-kind training experience, is proven to significantly impact surgical performance and bring together veterinarian healthcare professionals to train from anywhere in the world through remote collaboration.
Channeling skills they have learned throughout their careers to delegates in the classroom, once the workshop has finished the support and relationship continues – a value we hold dear.
