C1-claw
The unique C1-claw sets a new standard for C1-C2 fusion. The claw provides great fixation strength as reported in several articles*. It also features easy application in combination with the ME-connector as seen below.		With the new longer claw fixations can be done down to C4 using this technique. * For clinical data please read the article "Biomechanical Comparison of Five Different Atlantoaxial Posterior Fixation Techniques" published in Spine Volume 25 no. 22 pp 2877-2883.
