The global minimally invasive spine surgery market (MIS) is considered by many to be the most exciting and growing segment of the orthopedics industry. One of the key drivers for the MIS spinal device market is the increase in the target population. The biggest limiting factor for the MIS device market is the complexity of the procedures and the skill required to master them. In particular, percutaneous techniques and, to a lesser extent, retractor techniques, are considered by many to be significantly more difficult to master than traditional open surgical methods.
The minimally invasive spinal implants market contains nearly 100 companies many of which are smaller companies with less than 2% market share. Top companies as Medtronic, DePuy Synthes, Nuvasive or Globus have very good MIS products.
But there are also smaller companies with great Minimally Invasive Screw systems.We have selected Ten products according to the following criteria:
- Range of Rods diameter and length
- Fenestrated screws option
- Double Lead Screws
- Self Tapping Screws
- Range of Screws diameter and length
- Friction Tips Tulips
- Reduction-Distration Instruments
- Head Profile
10 Minimally Invasive Screw Systems to know:
1.- BLACK DIAMOND | OSSEUS
The Black Diamond™ Pedicle Screw System is an intuitive thoracolumbar fixation system that is ideal for use in both degenerative and deformity operations. Vibrant colors make for simplified implant identification and in-situ visualization while novel instrumentation optimizes each step of the procedure. The system’s versatile implant and instrumentation options allow for use in a minimally invasive or open theatre to treat a diverse array of pathologies. Take a look at what gives this system its effects, flexibility and intuitiveness.

2.- DIPLOMAT | SIGNUS
The surgical strategy can be adapted from “minimally invasive” to “open” at any time, using the same instrumentation. The DIPLOMAT MIS system uses pedicle screws of the DIPLOMAT system. A complete stand-alone MIS instrument set enables the user to perform complete minimally invasive treatment of the patient without the need to open additional sets.
- Small tulip diameters enable minimal approaches
- Fewer components for higher efficiency
- Integrated reduction option of the MIS rods
- Fenestrated screws starting from 5.5 mm diameter
- Maximum resistance to pullout forces
- DIPLOMAT MIS distractor/compressor
