The V3 Guided Segmental Plating System represents a progressive technique in cervical plating by giving surgeons the opportunity to treat each segment individually. This emerging approach combines the technical simplicity of

“stand-alone” type devices with the benefits and integrity
of conventional plate/cage constructs.  

 

V3 vs. CONVENTIONAL PLATING 

    THE GUIDED PLATE HOLDER

• ELIMINATES THE "FIDDLE" OF CHASING A PLATE

• SIMPLIFIES ALIGNMENT FOR MULT-LEVEL CONSTRUCT

• OPTIMIZES PLATE LENGTH TO AVOID ADJACENT LEVELS

​

    THE SEGMENTAL PLATING PHILOSOPHY

• ENSURES LOAD SHARING vs STRESS SHIELDING

• MINIMIZES RETRACTION FOR MULTI-LEVEL CONSTRUCTS

• ELIMINATES PLATE BENDING. SEGMENTAL PLATES
  CONFORM TO THE SPINE TO PRESERVE THE NATURAL
  LORDOSIS VS. THE SPINE CONFORMING TO THE PLATE’S
  DESIGNED LORDOSIS

​

V3 vs STAND-ALONE DEVICES

• PLATING OFFERS BETTER BONE PURCHASE AND STABILITY *

• NO SKIVING INTO ENDPLATES

• LESS “FIDDLE” WITH DIFFICULT SCREW ANGLES

• SCREWS DON’T VIOLATE THE GRAFT AREA

• A CLEAR REIMBURSEMENT PATHWAY
