FREE invetra™ pedicle screw course for residents

We would like to invite residents to this pedicle screw fixation course taught by Dr Robert Bergman DACVIM to gain knowledge and skills to successfully perform spinal stabilization surgery.

Not only will there be no charge for the course, we are offer $500 towards your travel and accommodation expenses as well as evening entertainment in Vegas!

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.

This unique offering is on a first come, first served basis. 

For any other questions, please contact Charles Achonye at charles@orthomedusa.com
