About Anterior Cervical Plate System
The Anterior Cervical Plate System is a medical device used in spinal surgeries to stabilize the cervical spine. It helps in supporting the vertebrae after injury or surgery by holding them in place. This system is commonly used in hospitals for treating cervical spine conditions.
Advanced Features:
-
Provides stable fixation to cervical vertebrae
-
Made from biocompatible, durable materials
-
Designed for easy surgical application and adjustment
-
Supports spinal fusion and promotes healing
-
Compatible with various bone grafts and implants
High-Performance Materials and ConstructionManufactured using titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) or medical-grade stainless steel, these plates are CNC machined and anodized for advanced durability and surface quality. The result is a lightweight, corrosion-resistant implant that ensures biocompatibility during surgical procedures.
Precise Application and CompatibilityThe system is suitable for anterior cervical spinal fixation at C2 to C7 vertebrae levels and is compatible with standard cervical screws. Plates are available in several sizes and configurations, allowing customization based on surgical requirements for optimal fusion support.
Sterility, Safety, and ConvenienceEach piece is gamma sterilized, individually packed, and designed for easy storage in sterile, dry, and cool environments. The efficient screw-locking mechanism and radiopaque markers ensure safe placement and reliable imaging guidance for medical professionals.
FAQ's of Anterior Cervical Plate System:
Q: How is the Anterior Cervical Plate System used during spinal surgeries?
A: This system is manually implanted for anterior cervical spinal fixation, typically between C2 and C7 vertebrae, providing stabilization and fusion support. Surgeons select the appropriate plate size based on intraoperative requirements.
Q: What screw options are available for this cervical plate system?
A: The system offers both self-tapping and self-drilling screw options, making it compatible with standard cervical screws to facilitate secure fixation based on the surgeon's preference and patient anatomy.
Q: When should the low-profile design of this plate system be considered?
A: The low-profile design, measuring approximately 2.2 mm in height, is ideal for minimizing soft-tissue irritation and reducing the risk of postoperative complications, making it suitable in most anterior cervical procedures.
Q: Where can the plates be effectively applied in the cervical spine?
A: The plates support anterior fixation at the C2 to C7 vertebral levels, accommodating variable anatomical needs and allowing for customized spinal stabilization and fusion.
Q: What is the benefit of radiopaque markers included in the system?
A: Radiopaque markers facilitate precise intraoperative and postoperative imaging guidance, helping surgeons confirm accurate plate and screw placement while enhancing overall safety.
Q: How should these cervical plates be stored to maintain sterility and shelf life?
A: Plates must be stored in a sterile, dry, and cool environment to ensure integrity and extend their shelf life up to five years. Each plate is individually packed and gamma sterilized for optimal safety.
Q: What process ensures the anatomical precision and safety of each plate?
A: Each plate undergoes CNC machining and surface anodization, resulting in anatomical accuracy and high corrosion resistance, thereby ensuring safety and optimal performance during surgical implantation.
