7 TRAUMA IMPLANTS & INSTRUMENTSCuttable and Cuttable, Malleable (reconstruction) PlatesVeterinary Instrumentation nows offers a comprehensive range of CuttablePlates. They are available either as a standard strip of round holes or as aversion with notches between the holes for easy contouring. These aredescribed as Cuttable Malleable or Cuttable Reconstruction Plates.Using Standard Wire Cutters 001236, 001237, 001228 or 001230 (page 89)a strip with the desired number of holes can be cut from the length. With carethe plate can be cut between holes, although it is easier to cut across a hole.Cuttable Plates may be stacked to double the strength along all or part ofthe construct.Plates are available in 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.4, 2.7 and 3.5mm. Hole spacing issmaller than the equivalent DCP which may be useful where bonefragments are small. The smaller sizes are particularly useful in the repairof metacarpals and metatarsals.
