Anterior Cervical Plating Systen Description The semi-rigid plate and screw interface is the basic priniciple of the CASPAR Cervical Plating System which has been used world-wide since 1980. Materials and design have been continously improved to reach the highest level of implant reliability. CASPARevolution is Aesculap?s mature and safe cervical plating system. Advantages - Extremely flat plate design - Special screwdesign prevents screw "Back-Out" - Fast screw insertion due to selftapping profile - Prebent lordotic plate facilitates restoration of cervical lordosis - Excellent proven long-term results Indication Use for mono- and multisegmental fusions in cases of cervical spine instabilities caused by: Tumors, degenerative diseases of intervertebral discs and fractures. Properties - Semi-rigid plate of very low profile made of pure titanium - Special screw design for solid bony anchoring - Oversized revision screws - Tried and trusted instrument for easy implant insertion Scientific Studies Anterior Cervical Plate Stabilization in One- and Two-Level Degenerative Disease: Overtreatment or Benefit?, J of Spinal Disorders, Vol. 11, No. 1, p. 1-11, 1998; W.
