Abstract: A cervical plating system for fixedly connecting two or more vertebrae to each other includes a cervical plate having a fastening hole, the fastening hole penetrating the cervical plate, a fastening screw fitted into the fastening hole in the cervical plate, and a screw locking member disposed adjacent to the fastening hole. The screw locking member is rotatable along the circumference of the fastening hole between a first position, in which it opens the fastening hole, and a second position, in which it at least partially closes the fastening hole.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing stent wires includes preparing three or more annular stent wires which has alternately arranged peaks and valleys, interconnecting the first and second stent wires, such that predetermined peaks of the second stent wire are caught in predetermined valleys of the first stent wire, passing a valley of a third stent wire below a free valley of the first stent wire and a free peak of the second stent wire, and interconnecting the third and second stent wires such that a peak of the third stent wire is caught in a valley of the second stent wire. The stent wires are connected in a stacked manner, thereby simplifying the manufacturing process, lengthening the lifespan of the stent wires, and improving the strength of the connection between two adjacent stent wires.
