Patient-specific spinal drill guide
Patient-specific spinal drill guides are designed to support accurate and reproducible implant placement in complex veterinary spinal procedures. Tailored to the individual anatomy, these guides help translate preoperative planning into more precise intraoperative execution by guiding the intended drill trajectory. When combined with an anatomical model, they also improve spatial understanding, surgical planning, and procedural confidence.
Example 1: Lumbosacral distraction and stabilisation
Example 2: Segmental stabilisation for subarachnoid diverticulum
Workflow
1. Case submission
Send through the case history, relevant clinical details, CT DICOM imaging, and MRI imaging where relevant for diagnostic and surgical planning purposes.
2. Diagnostic and surgical planning review
The imaging is reviewed to confirm the region of interest, better define the pathology, and assist with planning of any required laminectomy and the intended stabilisation site.
3. Estimate provided
Following review of the case and imaging, an estimated price is provided based on the complexity of the case and the services required.
4. Guide and model design
A patient-specific spinal drill guide and anatomical model are created based on the individual anatomy, planned implant trajectory, and surgical objectives.
5. Design review
The proposed design is shared for feedback and confirmation prior to manufacture, ensuring the guide aligns with the intended approach and stabilisation plan.
6. Manufacture
Once approved, the final guide and model are produced and prepared for shipping.
7. Shipping
The completed package is sent directly to your clinic.
