With ten years clinical history, the segmental fixation of the Hartshill Rectangle gives improved stability and is achieved using 1.2mm (18swg) or 0.9mm (20swg) sublaminar wires combined, where appropriate, with 6mm Pedicle Screw Bridges. Pedicle Screw Bridges can be used to fix the lower end of the Rectangle in thoraco-lumbar fractures, tumours and scoliosis, hence reducing the number of levels that need to be fused.

The stainless steel Rectangles provide the facility for extensive contouring, particularly important when treating patients with large deformities. Multiple lengths of Rectangles and various sizes of Pedicle Screw Bridges are available for correct implant selection, necessary due to varying anatomy. User friendly instruments have been ergonomically designed and developed to allow easier implantation, aiding optimum results. The integral cross links provide significantly increased rotational stability. The Hartshill Rectangle is a low profile system providing unobtrusive, discreet fixation for greater patient comfort.
