DESIGNED WITH BONE HEALING IN MIND
Stability, strength, and durability of the plate/screw
construct are vital to the healing of a fracture. The
implants are designed to provide optimal strength
while still protecting the soft tissue and vascularity.
These features combine to help optimal healing
of the fractured bone.
• Cold worked stainless steel material provides
increased strength over standard implant grade
stainless steel.

• Sculpted plate profiling evenly distributes stress
on the plates while simplifying contouring of the
plates to variable anatomy.
• Reduced area “footprint” optimizes vascularity
around the plate which is vital to bone healing.
• Plate sculpting aids contouring in the sagittal
plane where and if that is needed to improve fit of
the plate to the patient's anatomy. Improved fit
aids stability while optimally protecting soft tissue.

• Rescue screws are provided to improve uni-cortical
fixation in poor quality bone where the standard
screw has stripped the bone. This allows needed
plate screw holes to be successfully utilized that
might otherwise be left unused.
