About 3.5mm Small Locking Plates
The 3.5mm Small Locking Plates are widely used for stabilizing fractures in small bones, especially in the forearm, wrist, and other delicate anatomical areas. Locking plate technology provides angular stability by securing screws into the plate, minimizing the risk of implant failure. Advin Health Care manufactures these plates under strict quality standards, ensuring biocompatibility, mechanical strength, and reliable performance. These plates support accurate bone alignment, secure fixation, and promote faster healing with improved patient outcomes.
Advanced Features:
-
3.5mm size suitable for small bone fixation
-
Locking screw mechanism ensures angular stability
-
High-quality stainless steel construction for durability and corrosion resistance
-
Ideal for forearm, wrist, and small bone trauma orthopedic surgeries
Anatomically Contoured PrecisionThese 3.5mm Small Locking Plates are intelligently contoured to match bone anatomy, allowing for secure and stable fracture fixation. The low-contact design aids in preserving periosteal blood supply, reducing the risk of bone necrosis and promoting faster healing.
Versatile Fixation CapabilitiesThe combi holes are engineered to accept both compression and locking screws, offering flexibility during surgical placement. Surgeons can easily switch between approaches depending on fracture patterns or bone quality, maximizing treatment outcomes.
Durability and ComplianceManufactured using premium-grade Stainless Steel (316L/316LVM) or Titanium Alloy, these plates undergo precision CNC machining and electropolishing. They meet stringent ISO 13485 and CE certification requirements, ensuring consistent quality and safety.
FAQs of 3.5mm Small Locking Plates:
Q: How are the 3.5mm Small Locking Plates utilized during orthopedic surgery?
A: These plates are manually placed by the surgeon over the fractured bone, contoured to the anatomy, and fixed using compatible 3.5mm locking or cortical screws. They provide rigid stabilization to facilitate proper bone healing.
Q: What material options are available for the 3.5mm Small Locking Plates?
A: The plates are manufactured using medical-grade Stainless Steel (316L/316LVM) or Titanium Alloy, both known for their strength, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility.
Q: When should a surgeon choose a plate with more holes (e.g., 10 or 12)?
A: Plates with a greater number of holes are chosen for longer or more complex fractures, allowing for broader coverage and multiple screw fixation points to enhance stability.
Q: Where should these plates be stored before use?
A: They should be stored in a dry, sterile environment to maintain their integrity and prevent contamination. Adhering to correct storage instructions extends the products shelf life and preserves its reusable quality.
Q: What is the sterilization process for these orthopedic implants?
A: The 3.5mm locking plates are designed to be autoclavable, ensuring effective sterilization and reducing infection risk when reused according to recommended guidelines.
Q: What benefits does the anatomical contouring provide?
A: Anatomical contouring helps the plate precisely fit the bone surface, minimizing soft tissue irritation, promoting better fracture alignment, and enabling quicker patient recovery.
Q: Are these plates radiolucent for imaging purposes?
A: No, as they are composed of metallic materials, these plates are not radiolucent. However, their design allows visibility in imaging studies, aiding verification of placement and healing progress.
