Occipital Plate Screw | Titanium
+ Description
The Occipital Plate Screw (Ti) is a medical-grade titanium implant used for securing an occipital plate to the occipital bone in occipitocervical fusion procedures. These screws are specifically designed for optimal fixation in the posterior skull base, providing stable anchorage for plates that connect to cervical rods and screws.
Available in various diameters and lengths, these screws may be self-tapping or pre-drilled, and often feature low-profile heads compatible with specific plate systems.
+ Indications
- Occipitocervical fusion following trauma, instability, or deformity
- Spinal tumors or infections requiring stabilization of the craniovertebral junction
- Congenital anomalies (e.g., basilar invagination, Klippel-Feil syndrome)
- Revision surgeries where prior hardware has failed
- Rheumatoid arthritis or degenerative disease affecting occipitocervical stability
- Secures the occipital plate to the skull in posterior fusion constructs
- Functions as part of a complete occipitocervical stabilization system
+ Key Features
- Titanium Alloy (Ti6Al4V ELI) : Biocompatible, corrosion-resistant, and lightweight Safe for MRI and radiographic imaging
- Low-Profile Head Design : Minimizes soft tissue irritation Compatible with most standard occipital plates
- Multiple Lengths & Diameters : Allows customization based on patient anatomy and bone quality Common sizes range from 4.0 mm to 6.0 mm in diameter
- Self-Tapping or Non-Self-Tapping Options : Versatile surgical application based on surgeon’s preference and bone condition
- High Pull-Out Strength : Designed to ensure strong fixation in cancellous and cortical bone of the occiput
- Compatible with Occipitocervical Systems : Integrates seamlessly with plates and rods used in posterior cervical instrumentation
- ISO 13485 & CE Certified : Complies with international quality standards for surgical implants
