FDA Clears Stryker’s Pedicle Screws

Stryker received 510(k) clearance for the Serrato pedicle screw, part of the company’s Xia 3 Spinal System.

The pedicle screws have serrated cutting flutes for quick insertion and a patented buttress-thread locking mechanism to reduce cross threading and splaying of the screw head.

The Serrato screws can be used with different rod diameters and materials to fit the patient’s spinal needs.
