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.
