The XC Medico Monoaxial Reduction Screw is used in posterior thoracolumbar and lumbar spinal fixation. It has an extended tab or tulip section. This lets the surgeon guide a rod into position step by step. It suits cases where vertebrae need gradual realignment before the rod is fully seated. Thoracolumbar compression fractures are one common use. Reduction screws help restore vertebral height before final locking. Spinal deformity correction can also call for staged rod placement. This includes cases such as scoliosis and kyphosis across several levels. Once the rod is seated and locked, the tab is usually removed. This is general practice for this screw type. Surgeons pick diameter and length against pedicle width and vertebral depth on preoperative imaging. They then pick a reduction or standard head design based on the case's need for staged rod placement.

XC Monoaxial Reduction Screw
Fixed-Angle Titanium Reduction Screw for Controlled Vertebral Reduction in Thoracolumbar and Lumbar Fixation
The XC Medico Monoaxial Reduction Screw is the reduction-tab variant of XC Medico's monoaxial pedicle screw line, used alongside the standard Monoaxial Pedicle Screw within the Spinal Pedicle Screw System. Medigear.uk stocks the full REF R5CGDZD5030–R5CGDZD7055 range, giving procurement teams a single source across all five diameters and every confirmed length.
The XC Medico Monoaxial Reduction Screw is a fixed-angle titanium bone screw built for controlled vertebral reduction. It is used in posterior thoracolumbar and lumbar spinal fixation. Like the standard Monoaxial Pedicle Screw, the head is fixed and does not swivel. This gives a rigid, single-axis connection once the construct is locked. A reduction screw adds an extended tab or tulip section above the screw head. This is general practice for reduction screws in comparable posterior fixation systems. It lets the surgeon guide a rod down into position step by step, rather than seating it in one motion. This suits cases where vertebrae need to be gradually realigned before final locking, such as fracture reduction and deformity correction. The range is supplied under REF codes R5CGDZD5030 through R5CGDZD7055, covering 27 confirmed size combinations. It covers five diameters: 5.0mm, 5.5mm, 6.0mm, 6.5mm, and 7.0mm. Lengths run from 30mm to 55mm in 5mm steps. The 5.0mm diameter covers 30mm to 45mm, across four lengths. The 5.5mm diameter covers 30mm to 50mm, across five lengths. The 6.0mm, 6.5mm, and 7.0mm diameters each cover the full 30mm to 55mm range, across six lengths apiece. This mirrors the size grid used for the standard Monoaxial Pedicle Screw. The screw is made from titanium, in line with general practice for pedicle screws used in posterior spinal fixation systems. XC Medico holds ISO 13485 certification at company level. This covers its quality system across the spine range. CE marking status, material standard papers, sterile packaging status, and lead times for this reference should be checked with Medigear.uk's team before ordering or submitting a tender.
Staged Rod Placement for Controlled Reduction
The extended tab or tulip section lets the surgeon guide the rod into position gradually, rather than seating it in one step, easing placement across displaced or angled vertebrae.
Wide Diameter Range from 5.0mm to 7.0mm
Five diameters in one screw line cover a broad span of pedicle widths, matching the range offered on the standard Monoaxial Pedicle Screw.
Fixed-Angle Rigidity for Demanding Constructs
The monoaxial head gives a rigid, single-axis screw-rod connection once locked, suited to trauma and deformity cases needing firm control of spinal position.
Length Range from 30mm to 55mm in 5mm Steps
Consistent 5mm length increments across the diameter range let the surgeon fine-tune screw length against vertebral body depth on preoperative imaging.
Titanium Construction
Titanium construction matches general practice for pedicle screws in posterior spinal fixation systems, chosen for biocompatibility and mechanical strength.
REF-Coded Ordering for Simplified Procurement
Each diameter and length combination is ordered under its own REF code, giving procurement teams a clear, unambiguous way to specify the exact screw needed.
Matching Standard Monoaxial Pedicle Screw Available
A standard Monoaxial Pedicle Screw from the same XC Medico Spinal Pedicle Screw System range is available through Medigear.uk for cases not needing staged reduction.
Small-Batch Ordering for Specialist Clinics and Independent Practices
Independent spine surgeons and smaller private surgical centres do not always need trust-scale order volumes, and Medigear.uk supports single or small-quantity purchasing alongside its larger distributor accounts.
Single-Supplier Sourcing Through Medigear.uk
Medigear.uk supplies the full Monoaxial Reduction Screw range alongside matching implants and instrument sets, so procurement teams can source a complete construct from one distributor.
Company-Level ISO 13485 Certification
XC Medico holds ISO 13485 certification at company level, covering the quality management system behind the Monoaxial Reduction Screw and the wider spine product range.
5.0mm Diameter Range (30mm–45mm)
Four confirmed lengths at the smallest diameter in the range, suited to narrower pedicle widths.
5.5mm Diameter Range (30mm–50mm)
Five confirmed lengths at this diameter, extending the length range by 5mm over the 5.0mm option.
6.0mm Diameter Range (30mm–55mm)
Six confirmed lengths at this diameter, the first point in the range to reach the full 55mm maximum length.
6.5mm Diameter Range (30mm–55mm)
Six confirmed lengths matching the 6.0mm diameter's length span, for wider pedicle widths.
7.0mm Diameter Range (30mm–55mm)
Six confirmed lengths at the largest diameter in the range, suited to the widest pedicle widths covered.
Extended Tab or Tulip Head Section
The reduction head extension is designed to guide a rod into position step by step during construct assembly, a feature not present on the standard pedicle screw.
Fixed-Angle Screw Head Design
The monoaxial head does not swivel, giving a rigid, single-axis connection once the screw is locked to the rod.
Titanium Construction
The screw is machined from titanium, selected for its established biocompatibility and mechanical strength profile in spinal fixation applications.
REF-Coded Ordering System
Each diameter and length combination carries its own REF code, giving an unambiguous way to specify the exact screw needed for a given order.
Part of the Wider Spinal Pedicle Screw System
The screw belongs to XC Medico's Spinal Pedicle Screw System range, which also includes the standard Monoaxial Pedicle Screw and dedicated instrument sets.
The XC Medico Monoaxial Reduction Screw gives surgeons a fixed-angle titanium option with staged rod placement across a full 5.0mm to 7.0mm diameter range, for posterior thoracolumbar and lumbar fixation cases needing gradual vertebral reduction. Medigear.uk stocks the complete R5CGDZD5030–R5CGDZD7055 range and can confirm CE marking status, material standard documentation, sterile packaging, and lead times for procurement teams ahead of order or tender submission.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything buyers need to know about sourcing medical equipment through MediGear.
The range covers five diameters: 5.0mm, 5.5mm, 6.0mm, 6.5mm, and 7.0mm. Lengths run from 30mm to 55mm in 5mm steps, matching the size grid used for the standard Monoaxial Pedicle Screw. All 27 REF codes are listed in the size table above. Medigear.uk stocks the full range so procurement teams can order any confirmed combination from one supplier.
A reduction screw adds an extended tab or tulip section above the screw head, which is general practice for reduction screws in comparable posterior fixation systems. This lets the surgeon guide a rod down into position gradually, rather than seating it in a single step. Medigear.uk also stocks the standard Monoaxial Pedicle Screw for cases that do not need staged rod reduction. Which option suits a given case should be confirmed with the operating surgeon's technique preference.
