Aesculap® SOCON® SRI: Spondylolisthesis Reduction Instrument

Aesculap, Inc.

Isthmic and degenerative spondylolisthesis is a common cause of lumbar symptoms and may require surgical reconstruction. Aesculap has created the SOCON® SRI to reduce spondylolisthesis with carefully controlled force and limited distraction. This remarkable device achieves reduction through levered forces applied to the L5 and S1 bodies via Aesculap's SOCON pedicle screw system.
