The Cervical Spine Locking Plate (CSLP) was developed by Dr. Edwin Morscher, along with the technical commission of the AO, following the AO principles for internal fixation.  Since its introduction to the United States in 1991, CSLP has been used in more than 200,000 anterior cervical fusions.  The clinical performance of CSLP has been documented in many peer-reviewed studies.

Key Features & Benefits

All CSLP plates feature:

• Unique Internal Locking System: locking mechanism ensures stable locking of the screws in the plate
• Low profile: preserves tissue
• Converging screws: high resistance to construct pull-out
• Unicortical purchase: anatomically safe screw placement

Indications

The Cervical Spine Locking Plate (CSLP) system is intended for anterior screw fixation to the cervical spine (C2-C7) for the following indications:  

• Degenerative disc disease [DDD] – defined as neck pain of discogenic origin with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies
• Spondylolisthesis
• Spinal Stenosis
• Tumors
