MRSA infection in spine surgery you nightmares ...

Antibacterial Silver Screw System is a pedicle screw system which is used for the treatment of degenerative or pathologic diseases to achieve an artificial stabilization. The pedicle screw systems are considered the most common application for spinal column fixation. And the feautre of coating with nanoarticular silver ions distinguish Norm Antibacterial Silver Screw System from these pedicle screw systems.

Length of the operation time in "transpedicular stabilization with screw-rod system", which has become one of the routine applications in spinal surgery, and predisposing causes like wideness of the incision or foreign material applications (titanium screws) carry an increased risk of infection. In case of infection growth antibiotic therapies and the increased hospitalization period increase greatly the co st of treatment.

In addition, the available antibiotics may not always be sufficient to solve the problem and in some patients,
removing of the implant is necessary with a second operation. The main purpose of this study is coating of the
titanium implants used with nanoarticular silver ions and reducing the infection rate and risk.

Silver, wich is the basic logic of the system, has antibacterial characteristics. Among the most effective antibiotics,
Meticillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) is one of the primary dangerous bacteriums. It was found in the
studies performed that silver protects the stabilization systems used in spinal surgery frombacteriums such as MRSA (meticillin-resistant Staphyloccus aureus - Meticillin is among the most powerfull antibiotics) that causes hospital,
infections with a rate of 91,6% percent, an deven kills thesedeadly microorganisms.

History of Silver [Abstract]   

Silver is a precious metal especially known by Mediterrian Seaside countries people from Before Christ (B.C.) 4000 year (2). The antimicrobial effect of silver ions were known during many centuries (2).

Summerian, covered the metal water carriage with silver to use fresh water. After Christ at 8th century, the Arabian healers used the silver as treatment drug (1). Ibni Sina at the 980 year treated own patients with silver consisting drugs (3). At the Old West villagers put the silver coins into milk for long term protection. For the treatment of Syphilis and Epilepsia the silver contained drugs used long period in medicine (2).
