To provide an optimal patient treatment the demands placed on a pedicle screw system are very high – regardless of the particular indication. Both simple and complex spine treatments require a maximum of security and stability. Therefore reliable, ergonomic and functional instrument sets are an absolute must for surgeons. DIPLOMAT® from SIGNUS combines all of these features. lt is a safe, modular and economical fixation system for all interventions on spine.

DIPLOMAT® provides great options:

  • Minimally invasive and structure-preserving surgical procedure
  • Modular extension of DIPLOMAT® pedicle screw system
  • High level of security, stability and optimal patient care
  • No system change necessary to change to an open procedure
  • Modular and economical fixation system

    Clinical experience along with impressive clinical outcomes, the removable tulip shows outstanding results in laboratory tests:
    Tulip disengagement testing: The locking mechanism ensures an extremely strong connection between the screw and tulip.
    Rod push-out testing: The set screw, with its Torx T30 connection, provides a higher torque on insertion and enables a very strong grip of the screw on the rod.

DIPLOMAT®: one system for all indications

The DIPLOMAT® rod screw system is intended for dorsal stabilization TH2 - S2.

The system can be used in one or more segments until the bony fusion of the spinal column has taken place. DIPLOMAT offers a complete range of components for the system with well thought-out design.

The DIPLOMAT® pedicle screws are available as one- or two-part implants.

The polyaxial screws can be individually combined with the separately available standard, reduction and MIS tulips, depending on the indication and surgical situation. The tulip can be replaced in-situ if necessary. The monoaxial screws are available as one-piece implants. The implants are available non-sterile and sterile (on request).

DIPLOMAT® can therefore be described as follows: one system for all indications

Screw thread
  • Cortical/cancellous thread for high pull-out strength
  • Self-tapping
  • Cylindrical screw shaft
  • 4.5 mm thread pitch enables rapid screw implantation
Screw tip
  • Secure screw implantation
  • Protects neural structures
  • Tactile feedback on contact with the anterior cortex
Screw shaft
  • Cylindrical shaft
  • Cannulated 1.9 mm (for 1.8 mm guide wire) and fenestrated
  • Augmentable from Ø 5.5 mm upwards at any time (special cement applicators for controlled application available)
  • Anatomically-adapted perforations for safe cement application
Tulips
  • Implanted by indication (standard, reduction, percutaneous)
  • Intraoperatively exchangeable tulips (huge flexibility)
  • Reduction/repositioning manoeuvres possible
  • Slim tulip design Ø 12.5–14.9 mm
  • Optimal security with simple handling
  • Flat and low tulip profile
  • Minimal tissues and muscles trauma
Set screw
  • Torx 30 enables transfer of a high torque
  • Special thread design (trapezoid) for secure tulip locking
  • Thread profile avoids cross-threading
  • Firm connection to inserter
Instruments
  • Stringent standards for trays based on latest guidelines and surgeon requirements
  • Self-explanatory – easy to indentify
  • No need to change system during surgery
  • Process-designed tray (costs and space reduction)
  • Easy handling for all the surgical support team

The implants consist of a titanium (Ti-6Al-4V according to ASTM F 136 / ISO 5832-3) and cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy (ASTM F 1537 / ISO 5832-12) nickel free according to ASTM F 136 / ISO 5832-3

For easy identification, the implants are coated with oxide layers of different colours. Changes in colour are due to production and preparation and have no influence on functionality.

The materials are established for use as implants. They are biocompatible, corrosion-resistant, non-toxic in the biological environment and allow for trouble-free imaging in X-rays.
