THE MET ONE CZAR ANTERIOR CERVICAL PLATE SYSTEM IS INTENDED FOR ANTERIOR INTERBODY SCREW FIXATION OF THE CERVICAL SPINE. THE SYSTEM INCLUDES SCREWS, PLATES, AND A SET OF INSTRUMENTS TO INSERT THE IMPLANTS. PLATES ARE AVAILABLE IN A VARIETY OF LENGTHS TO ACCOMODATE FUSION PROCEDURES FROM ONE TO FOUR LEVELS OF THE CERVICAL SPINE. FIXATION IS ACHIEVED BY INSERTING THE SCREWS THROUGH THE OPENINGS IN THE PLATE INTO VERTEBRAL BODIES OF THE CERVICAL SPINE. THE PLATES ARE MANUFACTURED FROM TITANIUM 6 A1-4V ELI PER ASTM F136 AND INVIBIO PEEK-OPTIMA LT1 PER ASTM F2026.
A small implantable sheet of solid material that is attached to the spine with screws for spinal immobilization and is made of a material that is not chemically degraded or absorbed via natural body processes (includes implant grade metal such as surgical steel, titanium alloy, or carbon fibre). The device is typically used to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in the treatment of various spinal instabilities or deformities (e.g., during anterior/posterior cervical, anterior/posterior lumbar, thoracolumbar, and occipital fixation procedures).
