      ”anchor” as the safest element in occipito-cervical stabilization on the market!

      ”O·C·A·M” (Occipito-Cervical Anchorage Method) implants are intended for use in the treatment of the occipito-cervical spine from the posterior surgical approach.

      ”O·C·A·M” stabilizer is based on ”anchors” fixation in occipital bone and cervical spine (lateral masses). The design of ”anchor” provides the strongest and safest fixation of the implant in bone (up to 7 times stronger compared to bone screws) and ensures the durability of the stabilization system. Especially, when used in lateral masses the implant minimizes the risk of  contact with the neuro-vascular system (higher risk occurs with transpedicular screws). The system comes in a wide range of hooks and screws, which provide several stabilization options depending on the individual intra-operative case.
