It has a shape which restores the intervertebral height and lordosis. The Elegance¿ Anterior Cervical plate consists in a   variety of shapes and sizes of cervical plates with rounded corners, featuring bone screw s holes, locking systems and bone screws. The plates go from one (1) to five (5) levels, and the screws are selfdrilling or self- tapping, and fixed or variable. The fixation is provided by the bone screws inserted into the vertebral body by means of an anterior approach. The Elegance¿plates, as well as the bone screws, are made of compliant ASTM F136 Titanium alloy. It is essential to insert the implants with the instrumentation specifically designed for this purpose.
