The researchers examined 49 patients who underwent instrumented posterior lumbar fusion for degenerative disc disease. The patients received surgery on one to four levels of the spine with Safe Orthopaedics' single-use SteriSpine PS Pedicle Screw System kits in two centers.

Here are five key notes:

1. The single-use instrumentation could reduce surgical site infection from 6 percent to 2 percent; only one infection occurred among the patients participating in the study.

2. The Safe Orthopaedics products preserve screws and rods inside the sterile pack to reduce exposure to air-borne bacteria in the operating room.

3. The surgical time is reduced by 12 percent.
