Stabilization of long constructs and poor bone stock remain a challenge in anterior cervical surgery. TOSCA® Expansion was developed especially for this purpose. The expansion screws anchor themselves in the bone like a wall anchor, thus achieving increased primary stability. With monocortical anchoring an increased primary stability comparable to that of a bicortical screw connection is achieved. TOSCA® Expansion with its very thin plate design and semi-rigid screw connection allows for load-sharing with the bone to facilitate segmental fusion (Wolff’s law).

TOSCA® Expansion offers the user a high flexibility in anterior stabilization from C2 to C7. Pre-lordosed plates are available in different lenghts for one to four segment constructions. The self-tapping expansion screws are available in different lengths and diameters – both angle variable with ample 5° angular variability and fixed angle version. At 1.6 mm TOSCA® Expansion is one of the thinnest cervical plates on the market.

In addition, TOSCA® Expansion can be connected to all SIGNUS cervical interbody implants RABEA®, NUBIC® and JASPIS® ST as well as to a bone graft to ensure a secure construct.

Thin, semi-rigid plate design
  • Minimized stress shielding
  • Optimized load transmission and promotion of fusion (Wolff’s law)
  • Support for physiological subsidence („graft settling“)
Wide range of pre-lordosed mono- and poly-segmental plates
  • Optimal fit for a wide variety of patient anatomies
  • In most cases implantable without additional bending
Self-tapping, fixed-angle and variable angle expansion screws
  • Primary stability like bicortical screws
  • No risk of laceration of the dura
  • Optimized stability even with poor bone quality and in long construct
  • No need for pre-tapping
  • Application for diverse anatomical conditions
Colour coded
  • Simple size identification

Made of a biocompatible titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) with proven strength.
