Occipital Pre-Bent Rod | Titanium
+ Description
The Occipital Pre-Bent Rod (Ti) is a pre-contoured spinal rod made from medical-grade titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V ELI), specifically designed for use in occipitocervical fusion procedures. It provides a stable, anatomically aligned connection between the occipital plate and posterior cervical screws, eliminating the need for intraoperative rod bending.
This implant is an essential component of posterior occipitocervical instrumentation systems, offering strength, stability, and ease of use for surgeons during craniovertebral junction reconstructions.
+ Indications
- Occipitocervical instability due to trauma, tumor, or deformity
- Rheumatoid arthritis with craniovertebral junction involvement
- Congenital abnormalities (e.g., basilar invagination, Chiari malformation)
- Failed previous occipitocervical constructs (revision surgery)
- Used in posterior occipitocervical fusion systems
- Provides the connecting element between occipital plate and cervical screw systems
- Ensures rigid fixation and alignment from occiput to cervical spine
+ Key Features
- Pre-Bent Anatomical Shape : Designed to follow natural occipitocervical curvature Saves surgical time and enhances construct accuracy
- Titanium Alloy (Ti6Al4V ELI) : Lightweight, high-strength, and corrosion-resistant MRI- and CT-compatible for postoperative imaging
- Rod Compatibility : Typically available in 3.5 mm or 4.0 mm diameter Compatible with standard occipital plates and polyaxial cervical screws
- Rigid Structural Support : Provides load-sharing and long-term stability Helps maintain spinal alignment postoperatively
- Smooth, Polished Surface : Reduces tissue irritation and promotes soft tissue gliding
- Multiple Length Options : Available in various lengths to accommodate patient-specific anatomy
- ISO 13485 & CE Certified : Manufactured under strict quality and safety regulations for spinal implants
