Blackstone Ascent™ Posterior Occipital Cervico-Thoracic (POCT) System
Product Overview
The Ascent POCT System provides surgeons with means to address complicated fusion cases from the base of the skull to the thoracic region. While the occipital plate enables fixation to the skull, the detailed engineering of the multi-axial screws and cross connectors simplify the procedure. The multi-axial screws feature 66° of angulation, greater than any other screw available. This feature minimizes rod bending and makes obtaining optimal bone purchase a simpler task. The multi-axial adjustable cross connectors are pre-assembled and utilize a drop-in design for additional torsional rigidity to the construct.
