CCA Technique

The anterior approach to the cervical spine is reliant on the ability to obtain and maintain true “central” exposure. Central Cervical Access (CCA) is key during implant/hardware installation to allow better instrument access and visualization. Utilizing the Bone Levers in the CCA, exposure can be achieved quickly and safely. Bone Levers work with the anatomy and become “attached” to the vertebra without compromising nerves or the vertebral artery and allow a gentle muscle retraction. Exposure is assisted with a unique silicone sleeve that surrounds the Bone Levers and acts as a protective barrier and keeps the surrounding tissue lubricated.
