Osmium is a cervical plate system for the anterior stabilization of the vertebral column. The implant immobilizes the fusion mass until the bone graft has consolidated.The special feature of this system is the monocortical fixation with osmium screws. The osmium screw, consisting of a screw and a bolt, is expanded when the bolt is inserted.The expansion mechanism makes superior stabilization and
maximum anchorage possible, even if the bone is of reduced quality or if the same drill hole is used for a second screw placement in revision cases.With the cancellous bone screws a bicortical fixation is achieved. The screws can be combined as per the surgeons preference.
Features:
- Expandable osmium screw as backout protection
- Enhanced anchorage in bone of reduced quality
- Reliable anchorage in revision surgeryBicortical fixation with cancellous bone screw
- Preshaped plate
- Additional bending is possible
- Smooth surface with countersunk screws to avoid soft tissue irritation
- Fixation of the plate with the Osmium reduction instrument
- Color coding of the osmium screws
- Osmium system can be used mono- or bicortically
