Don Park, MD, vice chair of quality and safety at UCLA's orthopedic surgery department, completed the first procedure with SeaSpine's Admiral anterior cervical plating system.
The implant has 1-5 level plating options with various crossover sizes to help surgeons address specific surgical needs during anterior cervical discectomy and fusion.
"Admiral’s modular trial drill guides, coupled with its threaded driver, give me ultimate control of my screw trajectory, allowing me to angulate and direct my screws as needed," Dr. Park said in a Dec. 2 news release.
SeaSpine made Admiral available in a limited commercial launch.
