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 multi-level constructs

• 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
