- Optimal axial alignment
- Easy-to-align blocker insertion
- Biased angle screw with 55 degrees angulation
- Patented buttress thread closure
- 3.5mm diameter rod
- Optimal rod alignment
- Easy construct assembly
- Reduced cross threading*
- Increased construct stiffness and stability*
- When used with the Occipital plate, the bone screws are limited to occipial fixation only. The bone screws are not intended to be used in the cervical spine.
- The use of the polyaxial screws is limited to placement in the upper thoracic spine (T1-T3) in treating thoracic conditions only. They are not intended to be placed in the cervical spine.
- The hooks and rods are also intended to provide stabilization to promote fusion following reduction of fracture/disclocation or trauma in the cervical/upper thoracic (C1-T3) spine.
