The Ascent POCT System provides surgeons with means to address complicated fusion cases from the base of the skull to the thoracic region. While the occipital plate enables fixation to the skull, the detailed engineering of the multi-axial screws and cross connectors simplify the procedure. The multi-axial screws feature 66° of angulation to minimize rod bending and make obtaining optimal bone purchase a simpler task. The multi-axial adjustable cross connectors are pre-assembled and utilize a drop-in design for additional torsional rigidity to the construct.
- Multi-axial screws with maximum range of motion simplify rod placement
- Multi-axial adjustable cross connectors drop in for torsional rigidity
- Occipital plate enables fixation to extend to occiput
When complex procedures require occipital fixation, reducing the details for surgeons is a priority. To assist with the case, pre-bent rods connecting to the occipital plate are provided. To extend beyond T3 to S1, rod to rod connectors are available to create a continuous connection between rods of different diameters.
- Pre-bent upper rods save steps during occipital fixation
- Rod to rod connectors enable an extended, unified construct
The attention paid to individual components within the Ascent POCT System enables the system as a whole to address a multitude of conditions, and gives the surgeon advantages in intraoperative efficiency at every juncture.
