CHAMELEON FacetFuse MIS Screw System

The CHAMELEON FacetFuse MIS Screw System is a cannulated system for fusion of the facet joints. The screws are inserted through the dorsal side of the lamina, across the facet joint, through the pedicle, and into the vertebral body. FacetFuse is indicated for posterior surgical treatment of a variety of spine disorders and is a part of our LES platform.
