Unlocking the Future of Spinal Surgery: Locking Anterior Cervical Plate
Locking Anterior Cervical Plate – Secure Fixation with Streamlined Design
The Locking Anterior Cervical Plate (LACP) features a threaded locking mechanism that engages screw heads to the plate, creating a fixed‑angle construct that resists screw back‑out and provides angular stability. The plate is available in 2‑level to 8‑level configurations, with a 1.5 mm low‑profile thickness and a 10°‑15° pre‑contoured lordotic bend. Manufactured from Ti‑6Al‑4V ELI (ASTM F136), the LACP offers static bending ≥450 N and fatigue endurance of 500,000 cycles at 150 N per ASTM F382. Variable‑angle screw holes (±12°) allow surgeon‑adjusted trajectories without compromising locking integrity.
A prospective, multicenter study (n=132, 12‑month follow‑up) reported a 98.5% fusion rate, zero screw back‑out, and a dysphagia rate of 2.3%—significantly lower than 7.6% for non‑locking plates.
