Medtronic, a global leader in healthcare technology, announced today the official launch of the CD Horizon™ ModuLeX™ spinal system for deformity procedures. The ModuLeX™ spinal system for deformity is amplified and enabled by AiBLE™, the Medtronic smart ecosystem of innovative navigation, robotic guidance systems, data and AI, imaging, software, and implants that enable more predictable outcomes in spine procedures.  

“At Medtronic, we continue to iterate on proven and trusted technologies like the CD Horizon™ solution of pedicle screws. Building on the 40-year legacy of this system, we are excited to bring the ModuLeX™ spinal system for deformity to market, strengthening our dedication to a connected, predictable, and advanced OR via our AiBLE™ ecosystem,” said Michael Carter, vice president and general manager, Spine and Biologics in the Cranial and Spinal Technologies business, which is part of the Medtronic Neuroscience Portfolio.  

The CD Horizon™ ModuLeX™ spinal system for deformity is the latest addition to Medtronic’s growing portfolio of lumbar fixation offerings. 

Key Features of the ModuLeX™ spinal system for deformity: 

• Operative flexibility: The system features a modular screw platform that allows intra-operatively what screw shanks and screw heads they want to use, tailoring the solution to each patient’s unique anatomy. 
• Enhanced visibility: In-situ screw assembly allows for improved visualization of patient anatomy during the procedure. 
• Confidence in assembly: CD Horizon™ ModuLeX™ screws have been extensively tested for strength ensuring a robust, one-way connection between the screw shaft and screw head. 

“The [CD Horizon] ModuLeX™ system has greatly improved my overall workflow for complex deformity surgery. Its modular design allows me to develop patient-specific, adaptable solutions to match the patient’s anatomy. With ModuLeX™, not only can you see more, but you can do more; the system allows me to be flexible in my approach. In my hands, the system improves my surgical efficiency and visibility of the surgical area, which helps me deliver a better standard of help for pediatric patients” said Dr. Nicholas Fletcher, Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Scottish Rite and Medtronic consultant.
