We offer standard locking plugs which are used to help stiffen the plate when the screw hole is unused. We also offer a cannulated style plug, which is particularly useful as a way of holding the plates in place whilst the other holes are drilled and filled. This reduces the need for bone holding forceps which can sometimes be hard to locate without interfering with the surgeon’s working area.
