"Clinical research has shown that greater than 5mm distance (of the cervical plate) from adjacent discs equates to less adjacent level degeneration post-operatively. The small over-hang of Hyper-C™ plate is an evidence based approach to attain this outcome which may be extremely beneficial for patients in decreasing adjacent level disease*." - Dr. Rakesh Chokshi.
"The super-short Hyper-C™ plate allows for hyper-angulation of bone screws in convergent or divergent orientation. This allows more intraoperative flexibility for primary and revision surgery with existing hardware" – Dr. W. S. (Bill) Edwards Jr.
The Hyper-C™ Anterior Cervical Plate System offers:
- Plates in levels 1 thru 5 in addition to multiple lengths
- Bone screws in 4.0mm, 4.25mm, and 4.6mm diameters
- Fixed or variable bone screw choices as well as self-drilling or self-tapping option
The Hyper-C™ will be available in Q4 of 2015.
