A cervical plate and screw system is used to temporarily stabilize the cervical spine from C2 to C7 during solid stiffening of bone (fusion). The system should be integrated into the biomechanical system of the cervical spine as unobtrusively as possible. ASCOT® achieves this balance between maximal stabilization on the one hand with minimal stiffness on the other.
This allows for optimal load transmission onto the bone (Wolff’s law), thereby supporting segment fusion.

Thanks to its angular variability, ASCOT® can optimally adapt to the changing anatomic situation over the course of the healing process. An integrated locking mechanism and self‑drilling screws enable screw placement and locking in a single step, making the system efficient to handle and safe for the patient.

ASCOT® offers the user a high degree of flexibility for ventral stabilization of C2 – C7. The pre-lordosed plate is available in different lengths for one to four segment constructs. With a thickness of barely 1.8 mm, ASCOT® is one of the thinnest plates on the market. The self-drilling and self-tapping screws are available in different lengths and diameters both with an angle 10° of angular variability and fixed angle version. In addition ASCOT® can be fixed with a connector screw to the SIGNUS cervical vertebral body replacement implants such as ATHLET®, as well as to a bone graft to ensure a secure construct.
