The Axon System is a comprehensive set of instruments and implants, including top-loading variable axis screws, hooks, transconnectors, transverse bars and rods, designed for posterior stabilization of the upper spine.
The Axon System uses the existing CerviFix rods, allowing components from Axon and CerviFix to be interchanged. This allows a construct to extend from the occiput to the lower spine using the Universal Spinal System.
