The COSY® Cervicothoracic Occipital Rod-Screw System is a system designed for use on the cervical spine. The implants are used for surgical immobilisation, stabilisation and correction of malpositions of the human cervical spine and the cervicothoracic junction, including the occipitocervical junction if necessary.
The system is designed for use on fully grown bone structures.
The implants are available in various lengths, diameters and sizes to suit the patient’s anatomy. The decision about possible removal of an implant is the responsibility of the attending physician.
The system comprises rods, hooks, polyaxial screws, fixation screws, connecting pieces, occipital plates and occipital screws in various designs and sizes that can be firmly connected to a rod in various configurations. The system comprises hybrid rods with diameters ranging from 3.5 mm to 5.5 mm or 6.0 mm, and parallel rod-to-rod connections that allow 3.5 mm rods to be connected to 5.5 mm or 6.0 mm rods. These components are designed to allow the COSY® cervicothoracic occipital rod-screw system to be connected to a thoracolumbosacral pedicle screw system (DIPLOMAT®, DIPLOMAT® Deformity, MONOPOLY™).
The implants are made from a titanium alloy (TiAl6V4). Rods are available in versions made from titanium alloy or cobalt-chrome.
