Spinal bone screws that are non-bioabsorbable are small, threaded implants designed to anchor spinal stabilization hardware—such as rods, plates, or tethers—to vertebrae. Clinically, they are used to correct spinal deformities, stabilize fractures, or address instability by providing rigid fixation during surgical procedures like fusions or deformity corrections.
These devices are typically made from durable metals like titanium or steel and are regulated as surgical implants, often requiring pre-market approval or conformity assessments depending on the jurisdiction. They may come with adaptors for rod attachment and vary in drive type (e.g., slotted, cross-shaped) to suit surgical techniques, but their non-bioabsorbable nature ensures long-term structural support.
