ASSURE® ASSURE® is an anterior cervical plate that requires only one step for inserting and locking screws into place. The plate design allows for a smooth anterior surface while maintaining a low profile. A translational version (ASSURE®-T) adopts these core benefits while providing for graft settling at every level to help promote fusion. One-step locking mechanism: One instrument inserts and locks screws into place Low-profile design: The plate has a low profile and smooth surface to help reduce esophageal irritation Translational system: Allows the plate to adapt position due to post-operative graft settling
