CASPARevolution
Anterior Cervical Plating Systen
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 screw design reduces the likelihood of screw "Back-Out"
- Fast screw insertion due to selftapping profile
- Prebent lordotic plate facilitates restoration of cervical lordosis
- Excellent proven long-term results
Features
- 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
