The MSD CABLE REDUCTION SYSTEM screws and hooks are only intended for use in the thoracic and lumbar spine. The system provides an alternative to sublaminar and intraspinous process wiring for trauma applications. Another application is the use of the MSD CABLE REDUCTION SYSTEM for instrumentation involved in the correction of scoliotic, kyphotic, and lordotic deformities. The system may also be used with other spinal implants such as the MSD Unit Rod, the ATLAS™ CABLE System or the Luque Rod, or wherever "wiring" may help secure the attachment of other implants.
Device Story
MSD Cable Reduction System is a temporary orthopedic implant system consisting of multi-stranded cables and ancillary components (screws, hooks). Used in thoracic and lumbar spine surgery to provide temporary stabilization, augment bony fusion, or repair bone fractures. Operates as a mechanical fixation device; functions as an alternative to traditional wiring techniques. Used by surgeons in clinical settings to secure spinal implants (e.g., MSD Unit Rod, Luque Rod). Provides structural support to aid in deformity correction and bone healing. Sold sterile or non-sterile.
Clinical Evidence

Technological Characteristics
Materials: Medical grade stainless steel (ASTM F-138, ISO 5832-1/9), titanium alloy (ASTM F-136, ISO 5832-3), or pure titanium (ASTM F-67, ISO 5832-2). Mechanical fixation system consisting of multi-stranded cables, screws, and hooks. Non-electronic, non-software device.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring thoracic or lumbar spine stabilization, trauma repair, or correction of scoliotic, kyphotic, and lordotic deformities. Used as an alternative to sublaminar or intraspinous process wiring.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A spinal interlaminal fixation orthosis is a device intended to be implanted made of an alloy, such as stainless steel, that consists of various hooks and a posteriorly placed compression or distraction rod. The device is implanted, usually across three adjacent vertebrae, to straighten and immobilize the spine to allow bone grafts to unite and fuse the vertebrae together. The device is used primarily in the treatment of scoliosis (a lateral curvature of the spine), but it also may be used in the treatment of fracture or dislocation of the spine, grades 3 and 4 of spondylolisthesis (a dislocation of the spinal column), and lower back syndrome.
