Product Description
The set includes intuitive screw extenders that provide a direct, stable corridor for the delivery of screws and rods through small incisions, protecting the surrounding soft tissue.
All primary preparation tools—including the awl, probe, and taps—are cannulated to allow for precise delivery over a K-wire, ensuring 100% accuracy in pedicle screw placement under fluoroscopy.
The specialized rod inserter features a pivoting head that allows the rod to be introduced at a steep angle and then rotated into a horizontal position within the screw heads sub-muscularly.
The kit features compression and distraction instruments designed to work seamlessly through the extenders, allowing for segmental correction without the need for large open exposures.
The primary indication is for MIS-TLIF or MIS-PLIF procedures. The set provides the tools to stabilize the posterior column while maintaining the integrity of the paraspinal muscles.
Indicated for the percutaneous stabilization of thoracolumbar burst fractures. This approach is ideal for polytrauma patients who may not tolerate the blood loss associated with traditional open surgery.
Used for the stabilization of symptomatic spinal slips through a minimally invasive corridor, promoting faster mobilization and reduced postoperative narcotic use.
Applied in multi-level degenerative cases where the surgeon aims to minimize the "surgical hit" on the patient by using percutaneous screw and rod delivery across several segments.

The 5.5 MIS Spine Instrument Set is a high-technology surgical toolkit designed for percutaneous posterior spinal fixation. Unlike traditional "open" sets, these instruments are primarily cannulated, allowing them to slide over guide wires (K-wires) placed under X-ray guidance. The set is built around the use of long extenders or "towers" that attach to the screw heads, effectively extending the surgical site above the skin. This allows the surgeon to perform bone preparation, screw insertion, and rod placement through small stab incisions, maintaining the structural integrity of the spinal musculature.
This instrument set is applied in minimally invasive spinal fusion surgeries (MIS-Fusions). It is used to manage degenerative conditions and trauma where the goal is to stabilize the spine while minimizing surgical morbidity. The set's application is critical for guiding the rod through a sub-fascial path and ensuring it is correctly seated into the percutaneously placed screw heads. By utilizing these tools, surgeons can achieve the same rigid fixation as open surgery but with significantly smaller incisions and a faster return to daily activity for the patient.
The primary advantage of the TOOLMED set is its precision engineering. The cannulation is perfectly centered to ensure smooth K-wire passage without binding. The tower system features a secure, quick-connect attachment that prevents intraoperative detachment. Additionally, our rod inserter is designed for maximum "feel," allowing the surgeon to navigate the rod through the muscle layers with confidence. These advantages lead to reduced fluoroscopy time, shorter surgical duration, and more consistent clinical outcomes in MIS procedures.
Biomechanically, the instruments are designed to translate external forces through a long lever arm (the extenders) into the vertebral body. The screw extenders are engineered to withstand the torque required for screw insertion and the compression/distraction forces needed for spinal realignment. The cannulated taps are designed to create a thread path that maximizes the bone-implant interface, which is particularly vital in MIS where the surgeon cannot directly visualize the pedicle entry point, relying instead on the mechanical guidance of the K-wire.
The technique begins with the placement of K-wires into the pedicles under fluoroscopic guidance. The cannulated awl, probe, and tap are sequentially passed over the wire to prepare the canal. The 5.5mm MIS pedicle screws, pre-attached to the extenders, are then inserted. Once all screws are placed, the rod inserter is used to pass the rod percutaneously through the extenders. The set screws are delivered through the towers, and a final torque-limiting driver is used to lock the construct before the extenders are detached and removed.
Postoperative care of the instrument set requires specialized cleaning protocols. Due to the cannulated nature of the tools, internal lumens must be meticulously flushed with enzymatic cleaners and cleaned with dedicated wire brushes to prevent biological buildup. The screw extenders, with their moving parts, must be checked for mechanical smoothness and lubricated before steam sterilization at 134°C. Proper maintenance of the cannulation and locking mechanisms is essential for the continued safety and performance of the MIS system.
The TOOLMED 5.5 MIS Spine Instrument Set represents the pinnacle of minimally invasive spinal technology. By combining cannulated precision with robust tower-based stabilization, it provides surgeons with a reliable and efficient platform for modern, muscle-sparing spinal reconstruction.
Yes, the set comes with a dedicated K-wire holder and a supply of high-tensile 1.5mm stainless steel K-wires with trochar tips for easy bone penetration.
Our instrumentation is primarily optimized for the 5.5mm system. For 6.0mm MIS screws, we provide specialized taps and screwdrivers that can be integrated into this set upon request.
Our cannulated instruments are designed with strict tolerances to minimize "wobble" over the wire, and we provide depth-marked K-wires to allow the surgeon to monitor the wire position throughout the procedure.
Yes, our extenders are made from high-grade titanium and are designed for multiple uses. We also offer a single-use version for hospitals that prefer disposable MIS components.
While percutaneous fixation has a learning curve, the logical organization and intuitive design of the TOOLMED set are intended to shorten the transition for surgeons moving from open to MIS procedures.
