Product description The Ascent® Posterior Occipital Cervical Thoracic System allows surgeons to address complicated fusion cases from the base of the skull to the thoracic region. While the occipital plate enables fixation to the occiput, the detailed engineering of the multi-axial screws and cross connectors simplify the procedure. The multi-axial screws feature 66 degrees of angulation which minimizes rod contouring. The multi-plane adjustable cross connectors are pre-assembled and utilize a drop-in design for easy insertion. Features & Benefits Surgeon Benefits Occipital anchor plates accommodate varying patient anatomies 66 degrees of angulation maximize range of motion & minimizes rod contouring No-assembly cross connector provides multi-plane adjustability: translation, rotation and angulation Connectors enable extended construct from thoracic to lumbar Strength and Flexibility With four plate widths (31, 37, 45 and 50 mm), the Occipital Anchor Plates accommodate varying patient anatomies Four points of fixation to the occiput provide added security Occipital Plate enables fixation to extend to occiput 4 points of fixation
