Release® Laminoplasty Fixation System
The Release® Laminoplasty Fixation System provides an efficient, streamlined surgical experience allowing for central spinal cord decompression following completion of an open door laminoplasty procedure. Standard, allograft (for use with allograft bone spacer) and salvage plates are offered, along with self-drilling and self-tapping screws. The screw’s self-retaining drive mechanism helps ensure a rigid connection between the screw head and the screw driver. The slim plate design makes placement easier and helps to minimize the potential risk of impingement on cephalad facet joint.

Indications
The Release Laminoplasty Fixation System is intended for use in the lower cervical and upper thoracic spine (C3 to T3) in laminoplasty procedures. The Release Laminoplasty Fixation System is used to hold the graft material in place in order to prevent the graft material from expulsion, or impinging the spinal cord.
