Graftech® Cervical Dowel
The Graftech® Difference

Graftech® Cervical Dowels are threaded to dramatically increase resistance to graft expulsion and improve graft stability.

Graftech® Cervical Dowels are produced from select, dense cancellous tissue, providing a strong, porous structure that encourages bony ingrowth.

Dense, cancellous bone allows immediate red blood cell saturation for osteogenesis.

Infusion of Grafton® DBM Gel into the porous structure of the Graftech® Cervical Dowel creates an osteoinductive graft 1.

Graftech® Cervical Dowel are available in three diameters, 11mm, 13mm, and 15mm, each with a 12mm length.
Performance  

Cervical Dowel Compressive Strength

COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH:

The Graftech® Cervical Dowel has a compressive strength similar to Cloward dowels and other forms of cervical allografts.2

Cervical Dowel Push-Out Resistance

PUSH-OUT RESISTANCE

The Graftech® Cervical Dowel is significantly more resistant to graft push-out than Cloward allografts.2

Testimonial

"Combining a dense cancellous threaded allograft bone dowel with simple precision instruments to tap a Cloward type discectomy opening permits a snug graft construct without mallet tamping. The significantly greater resistance to graft expulsion has given me the confidence to do away with post-operative bracing for single level anterior fusions."
