Plates

These plates are used in the same manner as the DCP style but unlike the standard DCP plates, screw holes are designed to compress in both directions. By design, the screw holes have an oblique undercut for improved range of inclination. Lateral undercuts in the Plate profile allow for:

1. Bone formation at the plate side of the periosteal surface.
2. Makes contouring of the plate easier.
3. Reduce contact between plate and bone surface, thus increasing blood supply to aid healing.

These comprehensive range of Plate designs helps overcome the limitations for screw placement in distal radius fractures. The plate head has smaller diameter round holes and are spaced closer together than the plate shaft and anatomically contoured the length of the plate. To suit screw ranges from 1.5mm/2.0mm/2.4mm/2.7mm and 3.5mm. Head Holes are standard Round with shaft compression Stainless Steel ISO 5832-1

An economical Plate can be used with Cortical Screws or Sherman Screws. All Plates are made from Stainless Steel ISO 5832-1

These plates were specifically designed for the stabilisation of acetabular fractures in dogs. The pre-contoured shape simplifies the contouring to the dorsal acetabular surface which facilitates accurate reduction of acetabular fractures. Seven sizes to suit screw ranges from 2.0mm/2.4mm/2.7mm and 3.5mm. Holes are standard round. Stainless Steel ISO 5832-1
