DynaTran® is an internally-dynamized anterior cervical plating system that is designed to allow axial settling while reducing the risk of plate impingement on adjacent discs. With an integrated one-step screw locking mechanism, DynaTran®maintains a low 2.5mm profile across the entire surface of the plate. The uniquely-shaped graft windows enable both graft and end plate visualization to facilitate screw placement. The system offers custom distraction pins that allow DynaTran® plates to be positioned with the pins still in place to facilitate plate alignment and soft tissue retraction.
The DynaTran® ACP System offers a low profile, internally dynamized plate with a variety of screw options. The system is designed to provide up to 2mm of translation per level. The plate is inserted with the plate clips in place. After the screws are implanted, the plate clips are removed to allow the plate to close, as graft settling occurs.The plate can also be inserted with one or more of the clips removed, so that those levels are in the closed position (see picture). In this way, the plate acts as an adjustable plate, allowing the surgeon to size the implant intraoperatively.
The one-step locking ring expands upon screw insertion, and then contracts over the screw head to hold each screw securely in place. The screw hole geometry accommodates both fixed and variable angle screws. The rings are color-coded to indicate the different degrees of screw angulation permitted at the cephalad, middle and caudal holes:
- (green) 10° at cephalad screw hole
- (gold) 0° in center screw holes
- (pink) 4° in caudal screw hole
