3.5 mm Locking Wrist Fusion Plates Specification, Uses, Sizes & Surgical Instruments.
2.7/3.5 mm Locking Wrist Fusion Plates Specification
- Plates available holes are: 8 holes (Standard Bend), 8 holes (Short Bend) and 8 holes (Straight Bend).
- Standard Bend, Short Bend, and Straight Plate options anatomically designed to fit a variety of patient anatomy and defects.
- 2.7/3.5 mm Locking Wrist Fusion Plate features Combi holes that accept 2.7 mm locking Screws and 2.7 mm Cortical screws distally and 3.5 mm locking Screws and 3.5 mm Cortical Screws proximally.
- 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.
- 2.7/3.5 mm Locking Wrist Fusion Plates allow implant placement to address the individual fracture pattern.
- Standard bend plates for average-sized individuals. The standard bend plate is used for medium to large wrist fixation.
- Short bend plates for small-stature individuals or patients with previous proximal row carpectomy
- Straight plate for patients with unusual anatomy or a severely deformed wrist joint. The straight plate is used for wrist fixation when the standard and short bend plates do not fit the anatomy. This plate can be contoured to the anatomy of the patient’s wrist.
- 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.
- Pre-contoured plate to match anatomical shape.
- 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.
- A complete Instruments Set is available for 2.7/3.5 mm Locking Wrist Fusion Plates. 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.
