Stabilization in cases requiring multi-level treatment and / or with poor bone quality continues to present a challenge in anterior cervical surgery. TOSCA® Expansion was specifically developed for this purpose. The expansion screws are anchored in the bone in the same way as a dowel. This achieves increased primary stability for monocortical anchorage that is comparable to that achieved with bicortical screw attachment. In spite of optimized stabilization, TOSCA® Expansion, with its extremely thin plate design and semi-rigid screw attachment, allows for optimal load transmission onto the bone (Wolff’s law), thereby supporting segment fusion.

TOSCA® offers the user a high degree of flexibility for ventral stabilization of C2 to C7. The pre-lordosed plate is available in different lengths 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® is one of the thinnest plates on the market. In addition TOSCA® 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.


Thin, semi-rigid plate design
  • Minimized stress-shielding effect
  • Optimal 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 adaptation to patient anatomy
  • In most cases implantable without additional bending
Self-tapping variable- and fixed‑angle expansion screws
  • Primary stability like bicortical screws
  • No danger of possible dura injury
  • Optimized stabilization even with poor bone quality and in long construct
  • No need for pre-tapping
  • Application for diverse anatomical conditions
Color coding
  • Simple size identification

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