Surgeons use the Occipital Plate-I in posterior occipitocervical-thoracic builds. This matches XC Medico's stated uses for the wider OCT system. One use is occipitocervical and upper neck instability. Another is lower neck wear or damage after injury. A third is lower neck instability on its own. A fourth use is to back up a front fusion cage that needs additional support from behind. Surgeons pick the Occipital Plate-I along with matching rods, screws, crosslinks, and hooks. This choice rests on the patient's own anatomy. It also rests on the planned build and the surgeon's own judgement—XC Medico's Instructions for Use guide each step.

XC Medico Occipital Plate-I
Precision Titanium Occipital Fixation for Occipitocervical Fusion
The XC Medico Occipital Plate-I is a titanium, three-hole occipital fixation plate designed for occipitocervical fusion procedures as part of XC Medico's wider Occipitocervical Thoracic (OCT) Posterior Spinal Screw-Rod System. Supplied by Medigear.uk in two size options, the plate anchors to the occipital bone and forms the cranial fixation point of a posterior occipitocervical-thoracic construct, working alongside XC Medico's polyaxial pedicle screws, 3.5mm titanium rods, crosslinks, and laminar hooks. The
The XC Medico Occipital Plate-I is a titanium implant built for one job. It fixes the occiput at the top of a posterior build. It is made from surgical-grade titanium. The plate has three screw holes. These spread the fixation load across the occipital bone. The plate sits low against the nearby soft tissue. This matches the low-profile style used across XC Medico's wider OCT system. Medigear.uk stocks two sizes. RP1ZG32 is 32mm. RP1ZG37 is 37mm. This lets the team match plate size to the patient and the planned build. Getting this choice right matters for fit against the occipital bone and for how the rest of the construct lines up. The Occipital Plate-I is one of several occipital fixation choices in the same XC Medico system. It sits next to 3.5mm titanium rods, polyaxial pedicle screws, crosslinks, and laminar hooks. Together, these parts form a posterior build for occipitocervical instability, upper neck instability, lower neck wear, or damage after injury. XC Medico manufactures to requirements. It carries CE marking. Medigear.uk supplies it as part of a curated XC Medico range for UK teams. As with every posterior cervical part, use is limited to surgeons trained in this technique. Fit, size, and use follow XC Medico's Instructions for Use and the surgeon's own judgement for each patient. Medigear.uk treats the Occipital Plate-I as one part of a wider range, not a stand-alone item, and can advise on matching rods, screws, crosslinks, and tools on request.
Purpose-Built Occipital Anchorage
The Occipital Plate-I has one job. It fixes the occiput at the top of the build. It is not a general-purpose plate.
Low-Profile Titanium Construction
The plate is made from surgical-grade titanium. It sits low against nearby soft tissue, in line with XC Medico's wider design approach.
Two Size Options for Anatomical Fit
RP1ZG32 (32mm) and RP1ZG37 (37mm) give the team a choice that fits each patient's anatomy and the planned build.
Integration with the XC Medico OCT System
This plate is one of the occipital fixation choices in XC Medico's OCT system. It is built to work with the system's rods, screws, crosslinks, and hooks.
CE and ISO 13485 Certified Manufacturing
XC Medico makes this plate in accordance with ISO 13485. It carries CE marking for the UK and EU.
Surgeon-Flexible Fixation Choice
XC Medico offers multiple occipital fixation methods within the same system. This lets each surgeon pick what suits their technique and the case at hand.
Three-Hole Fixation Layout
Three screw holes spread the load across the occipital bone.
Consistent Manufacturing Traceability
This plate sits within XC Medico's wider spinal implant range. It is made under the same quality and tracking rules used across that range.
Supports Complex Reconstruction Cases
Its place in a larger build helps in worn, injured, or revision cases. These often need extra support from the occiput down.
Backed by Medigear.UK Supply and Support
Medigear.uk sources this plate straight from XC Medico's own specifications. We can advise on matching parts for the full build.
Three Integrated Screw Holes
The Occipital Plate-I has three screw holes. You can see them in its published product photos.
Surgical-Grade Titanium Alloy
It is made from titanium. This matches the metal used across XC Medico's posterior cervical and OCT parts.
RP1ZG32 – 32mm Specification
This is the smaller of the two sizes.
RP1ZG37 – 37mm Specification
This is the larger of the two sizes.
Part of the Occipitocervical Thoracic Posterior Spinal Screw-Rod System
XC Medico lists this plate as one of the system's occipital fixation choices. It sits next to 3.5mm rods, screws, crosslinks, and hooks.
Designed for Use with Polyaxial Pedicle Screws
The OCT system's screws come in Φ3.5mm and Φ4.0mm sizes, in a range of lengths, for the same build.
Compatible with 3.5mm Titanium Rod Platform
The OCT system uses a 3.5mm rod. It comes in 100mm and 200mm lengths, and links the whole build.
Compatible with Crosslinks and Laminar Hooks
XC Medico's crosslinks (35mm, 40mm, and 45mm) and laminar hooks fit the same posterior system.
CE Marked, ISO 13485 Manufactured
This plate is part of XC Medico's CE-marked, ISO 13485-compliant line of spinal implants.
Supplied by Medigear.uk for UK Distribution
Medigear.uk lists the Occipital Plate-I as part of its XC Medico range for UK customers.
The Occipital Plate-I gives surgeons a dedicated titanium option for occipital fixation. It sits within XC Medico's wider OCT system. Medigear.uk stocks two sizes: RP1ZG32 (32mm) and RP1ZG37 (37mm). XC Medico builds it in accordance with ISO 13485 quality standards. It carries CE marking. It works with the system's rods, screws, crosslinks, and hooks. Together, these parts support occipitocervical-thoracic fusion builds. As with every implant in this range, the treating surgeon makes the final call on fit, size, and use. XC Medico's Instructions for Use guide that choice. Medigear.uk is on hand to advise UK surgical teams on the Occipital Plate-I and its matching parts.
