The Locking Bone Screw For Cervical Plate with Cage (Code No. 823) is a specialized screw designed specifically for use with the Cervical Plate with Cage (Code No. 826) integrated system. It features a locking thread on the head, which threads into the integrated plate component to create a fixed-angle construct. This rigid fixation is crucial for stabilizing the cervical spine after an ACDF procedure. The screw’s small diameter and short length range (12mm to 20mm) are specific to the anatomy and requirements of the cervical vertebrae.
Key features include:
-
Locking Head: Creates a fixed-angle, rigid connection with the integrated plate system.
-
Dedicated Use: Designed exclusively for fixation with the Cervical Plate with Cage (Code No. 826).
-
Small Diameter/Length: Optimized for use in the small vertebral bodies of the cervical spine.
-
Size Range: Available in lengths from 12mm to 20mm (with 2mm variation).
-
Material: Implied Titanium (often color-coded green or similar for visibility).
