VySpine has received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its VyPlate anterior cervical plate (ACP) system.
VyPlate ACP is indicated for anterior cervical spine stabilization from C2 to C7, using unicortical screw fixation at the vertebral bodies’ anterior face. It features plates and screws made from titanium alloy, and a simple locking mechanism makes sure the bone screws are fully captured within the VyPlate.
“The VyPlate ACP System is a unique, elegantly simple system,” VySpine CEO Tom McLeer told the press. “It offers a great deal of versatility and flexibility while providing ease of use for the surgeon. The VyPlate is intuitive while also being robust and adaptable.”
The system is available in single-level to five-level plates. Bone screws can either be variable (high degree of angulation) or in a fixed angle to the plate—they also come in self-drilling or self-tapping configurations, and a range of lengths and diameters for optimal fit.
