The requirements for a pedicle screw system (PSS) for optimal patient treatment are very high – regardless of the particular indication. Both simple and complex treatments of the spine always require maximum security and stability.

DIPLOMAT® is a well‑conceived, modular and versatile fixation system that was designed in close collaboration with experienced and qualified spinal surgeons. This is also reflected in the tray design. With just one basic tray and a small MIS extension tray, the instruments meet the demands for an easy to handle system.

The cannulated and fenestrated pedicle screws combined with 5.5 mm titanium rods allow the DIPLOMAT® system to stabilise and comfortably correct all types of spinal diseases and deformities in a controlled manner.

In collaboration between surgeons, engineers and nursing staff, we work continuously to adapt the system to market requirements.

The additional implants DIPLOMAT® Deformity round off the DIPLOMAT® portfolio. For information on these products, please refer to the respective product information.

Tulips: In-situ exchangeable tulips (standard, reduction and percutaneous)

Versatility and flexibility

DIPLOMAT® can be used with open, minimally invasive or percutaneous surgical techniques.
The modular design allows for constructions that can be customised to the individual needs of patients.

Modular and cost-effective system

Owing to the interchangeable tulips, the same screw can be used for all indications.
The instrument set has been reduced to the bare essentials to support ergonomic and efficient handling.

Optimised screw design

The screws are cannulated with a Ø of 1.9 mm, which enables precise guidance of the guide wire and optimum cement flow.
Fenestration of the screws ensures even cement distribution. A single turn of the screw enables a screw-in depth of 4.5 mm.

Stable and secure connection

Tensile strength test confirms: the locking mechanism ensures maximum strength of the screw-tulip connection.

Percutaneous and MIS tulip

The slim design of the tulips facilitates access and handling during surgery.
For slimmer patients, the percutaneous tulip can be snapped off to reduce the protruding length.

The implants are made from the following materials:

• Titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) as per ASTM F 136 / ISO 5832-3

• Cobalt-chrome-molybdenum alloy as per ASTM F 1537 / ISO 5832-12

The implants are coated with oxide layers in different colours for easy identification. Colour changes are caused by factors related to production and reprocessing and do not affect the functionality.

The materials are established materials for use as an implant.

They are biocompatible, corrosion-resistant and non-toxic in the biological environment.
