About 3.5mm One Third Tubular Plate
The 3.5mm One Third Tubular Plate is designed for internal fixation of small bone fractures, particularly where a thinner and more flexible implant is required. Its one-third tubular shape provides sufficient strength while maintaining a low profile to reduce discomfort and soft tissue complications. Advin Health Care manufactures this plate using medical-grade stainless steel or titanium to ensure high durability, biocompatibility, and corrosion resistance. Commonly used in trauma orthopedic procedures, this implant supports secure screw fixation and offers surgeons precision in delicate fracture management.Advanced Features:
- One-third tubular design ideal for small bone fixation
- Low-profile and lightweight structure
- Compatible with 3.5mm cortical screws
- Suitable for fractures of fibula, ulna, clavicle, and forearm
- Made from high-quality stainless steel or titanium
- Corrosion-resistant and biocompatible material
Precision Engineering and Anatomical CompatibilityMachined using cutting-edge technology, the 3.5mm One Third Tubular Plate ensures accurate anatomical fit for various fracture locations. Its low-profile, curved design supports ease of placement along the bone, reducing procedure complexity and improving patient outcomes.
Material Choices for Optimal OutcomesOffered in both stainless steel (316L/316LVM) and titanium, the plate accommodates diverse surgical requirements. Both materials guarantee superior strength and biocompatibility, while titanium offers radiolucency for clearer post-operative imaging and even better corrosion resistance.
Versatility in Fracture FixationDesigned for use in the forearm, fibula, and similar long bones, the plate comes in sizes from 4 to 12 holes. Its dynamic compression holes facilitate controlled fracture compression, supporting bone healing in a variety of clinical situations.
FAQs of 3.5mm One Third Tubular Plate:
Q: How is the 3.5mm One Third Tubular Plate used during orthopedic surgery?
A: The plate is manually implanted by an orthopedic surgeon to stabilize and fix fractures of the forearm, fibula, or similar long bones. It is positioned along the bone and secured using 3.5mm cortical bone screws.
Q: What are the benefits of the dynamic compression holes in this plate?
A: Dynamic compression holes (oval/slotted shape) enable controlled fracture compression, promoting stable alignment and enhanced bone healing by allowing slight movement of screws during placement.
Q: When should this plate be used instead of other types of orthopedic plates?
A: This plate is ideal for treating fractures in long bones, especially when a low-profile, anatomical implant is needed to minimize soft tissue irritation and ensure a snug fit. It is best suited for the forearm, fibula, and similar anatomical sites.
Q: Where can this orthopedic plate be applied?
A: It is suitable for fractures of bones such as the radius, ulna, humerus, and fibulaessentially any long bone that benefits from internal fixation using a one-third tubular, dynamically compressive plate.
Q: What sterilization processes are compatible with this plate?
A: The plate can be effectively sterilized by Gamma radiation, Ethylene Oxide (ETO), or Autoclave processes to ensure safety and sterility before surgical use.
Q: How should the plate be stored before use?
A: Store the plate in clean, dry, sterile conditions as recommended to maintain its shelf life of up to 5 years and prevent contamination prior to surgery.
Q: What are the advantages of choosing titanium plates over stainless steel options?
A: Titanium plates are biocompatible, highly resistant to corrosion, and radiolucent, meaning they allow for clearer X-ray imaging compared to stainless steel plates, though both materials are strong and safe for surgical use.
