invetra™ Pedicle screw fixation wet-lab workshop

A modular and versatile system for spinal surgery stabilisation

The invetra pedicle screw fixation system was designed exclusively for the veterinary industry and has implants and instrumentation designed for use on dogs of all shapes and sizes from 4.5mm down to 2.0mm screws.

Pedicle screw fixation systems have been standard in human practice for quite some time. Only now though has a system been designed and manufactured from the ground up specifically for the veterinary industry in a 5.5mm and a 3.0mm system.

The course is a varied mixture of theory and practical, but with the focus heavily on the practical aspect. An initial surgery on a real-case 3D model will be undertaken by each participant before moving into the wet-lab. This model will be kept by each attendee.

We would like to invite a limited number of surgical and neurology residents to this pedicle screw fixation course taught by Dr Robert Bergman DACVIM to gain knowledge and skills to successfully perform spinal stabilization surgery as well as $500 towards your travel and accommodation expenses.

This unique offering is on a first come, first served basis.
