DePuy Synthes' spine division recently launched its ZERO-P NATURAL plate that supports bone growth and stability during spinal fusion procedures in the neck.
Here are five things to know:
1. DePuy designed the device for use with the CC Natural spacer, an allograft spacer that offers structural support and fusion potential.
2. Surgeons put the plate and spacer together outside of the operating room to facilitate simultaneous insertion into the disc space during anterior cervical discectomy fusion procedures.
3. Four locking screws anchor the ZERO-P NATURAL Plate.
4. The plate marks DePuy's latest addition to its zero-profile products, which do not pass the vertebral body's anterior wall, thereby limiting vessel and adjunct soft tissue damage.
5. DePuy offers solutions for specialties, including joint reconstruction, trauma, neurological, craniomaxillofacial, spinal surgery and sports medicine.
