Rig®-ACP (Anterior Cervical Plate)
About
Easier and more efficient procedures are made possible with only a single hex driver needed to place screws and secure the locking mechanism. Variety in plate sizes affords surgeons broad choices in implant selection.
A wide array of screw options ensures creation of a stable construct to meet patient needs. Large Graft window provides clear endplate visualization. Aggressive Diamond Tip self-drilling screws reduce surgical steps and provide tactile feedback to confirm that the screw is fully seated.

Indications
The RIG®-ACP Anterior Cervical Plate System is designed for anterior interbody screw fixation of the cervical spine at levels C2-T1.
The RIG®-ACP Anterior Cervical Plate System is indicated for use in the temporary stabilization of the anterior spine during the development of cervical spinal fusions in patients with degenerative disc disease (as defined by neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by patient history and radiographic studies), trauma (including fractures), tumors, deformity (defined as kyphosis, lordosis or scoliosis), pseudoarthrosis and/or failed previous fusions.
When to use?
Contra-Indications
Overt infection or distant foci of infections.
Local inflammation, with or without fever or leukocytosis.
Pregnancy
Diseases or conditions other than those specifically described in the Indications section.
Use in the posterior elements (pedicles) of the cervical, thoracic, or lumbar vertebrae.
Where attempted correction exceeds the limits of physiological conditions.
Uncooperative patient or patient with neurologic disorders rendering the patient incapable of following instructions.
Metabolic disorders that may impair bone formation.
Inadequate bone stock to support the device.
Inability to restrict high activity level.
Obesity
Poor prognosis for good wound healing (e.g., decubitis ulcer, end-stage diabetes, severe protein deficiency and/or malnutrition).
