3.5 mm Locking Reconstruction Plates Straight

Specifications - 3.5 mm Locking Reconstruction Plates Straight

  • Plates available holes are 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, and 22.
  • Plate has combi holes and round holes. Combi holes allow fixation with locking screws in the threaded section and cortex screws in the dynamic compression unit section for compression.
  • The shaft holes accept 3.5 mm locking screws in the threaded portion or 3.5 mm cortical screws or 4 mm cancellous screws in the compression portion.
  • 3.5 mm Locking Reconstruction Plates Straight allow implant placement to address the individual fracture pattern.
  • Limited-contact surface reduces bone-to-plate contact and helps to preserve the periosteal blood supply.
  • Choice of different lengths of plate eliminates the need to cut plates.
  • Available in both Titanium and Stainless steel.
  • Locking plate increases construct stability, decreases risk of screw back-out and subsequent loss of reduction. It also reduces the need for precise anatomic plate contouring and minimizes the risk of stripped screw holes.
  • Polished surface and rounded edges minimize potential for tendon adhesion.
  • Low plate and screw profile minimizes potential for tendon and soft tissue irritation.
  • Smaller plates and screws address fracture fragments individually, with less overall implant bulk locking plate increases construct stability, decreases risk of screw back-out and subsequent loss of reduction.
  • A complete Instruments Set is available for 3.5 mm Locking Reconstruction Plates Straight. General Instruments are available for this plate such as Plate Bending Press, Plate Holding Forceps, Plate Bending Pliers, Bone Holding Forceps, Bone Elevators, Bone Cutter, Bone Nibbler, Depth Gauge, Sleeve, Screw Driver, Trocar Sleeve etc.

Uses of 3.5 mm Locking Reconstruction Plates Straight

3.5 mm Locking Reconstruction Plates Straight are used to fix the Pelvic, Clavicle and Calcaneal fractures.

Benefits of 3.5 mm Locking Reconstruction Plates Straight

  • 3.5 mm Locking Reconstruction Plates Straight does not have to precisely contact the underlying bone in all areas. When screws are tightened, they “lock” to the threaded screw holes of the plate, stabilizing the segments without pulling the bone to the plate. Locking screws make it impossible for screw insertion to alter the reduction. Nonlocking plate/screw systems require a precise adaptation of the plate to the underlying bone. Without this close contact, tightening of the screws will pull the bone segments toward the plate, resulting in loss of reduction and possibly the occlusal relationship.
  • Locking plate/screw systems do not disrupt the underlying cortical bone perfusion as much as conventional plates, which compress the plate to the cortical bone.
  • Screws are unlikely to loosen from the plate. Similarly, if a bone graft is screwed to the plate, a locking head screw will not loosen during the phase of graft incorporation and healing. The possible advantage to this property of a locking plate/screw system is decreased risk of inflammatory complications due to hardware loosening.
  • Locking plate/screw systems have been shown to provide more stable fixation than conventional nonlocking plate/screw systems.
