About 4.5mm T Buttress Plate
The 4.5mm T Buttress Plate is engineered to manage fractures that experience high shear and bending forces, often found near joint surfaces like the distal femur or proximal tibia. The buttress design acts as a support to counteract these forces, providing enhanced stability during the healing process. Manufactured by Advin Health Care, this plate is crafted from premium stainless steel or titanium, ensuring biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and durability. Its compatibility with 4.5mm cortical screws allows for secure fixation, making it a reliable choice for trauma orthopedic surgeons treating complex fractures.
Advanced Features:
- T-shaped buttress design for enhanced mechanical support
- Ideal for fractures near joints with high stress
- Compatible with 4.5mm cortical screws
- Made from medical-grade stainless steel or titanium
- Corrosion-resistant and biocompatible material
- Provides stable fixation in distal femur, proximal tibia, and similar bones
Anatomic Fit and Biomechanical SupportThis T Buttress Plate is engineered to match anatomical contours of the distal femur and proximal tibia, aiding in promoting proper healing during fracture fixation. Its buttress profile supports the metaphyseal bone, providing optimal biomechanical stability for adult orthopedic patients.
Construction and CompatibilityManufactured from Stainless Steel 316L or Titanium, the plate undergoes precision CNC machining for a flawless finish. With combi holes, it is compatible with both 4.5 mm cortex and 6.5 mm cancellous screws, offering surgeons flexibility during fixation. Electropolishing or titanium anodizing ensures superb corrosion resistance.
Sterility and Single-use DesignTo maximize patient safety, each plate is supplied sterileprocessed either by Gamma irradiation or EO sterilizationand is designed for single-use applications. This eliminates contamination risk, and the shelf life of 5 years guarantees assured reliability when stored correctly.
FAQs of 4.5mm T Buttress Plate:
Q: How is the 4.5mm T Buttress Plate typically used in orthopedic surgeries?
A: The plate is utilized for stabilizing bone fragments during fracture fixation procedures, particularly in the distal femur and proximal tibia. It acts as a buttress to support the metaphyseal bone and is fixed with compatible cortex or cancellous screws.
Q: What type of screws are compatible with this T Buttress Plate?
A: This plate features combi holes, making it compatible with both 4.5 mm cortex screws and 6.5 mm cancellous screws. This design provides surgical flexibility for optimal fixation based on fracture patterns.
Q: When should this orthopedic implant be used?
A: The 4.5mm T Buttress Plate is indicated for adult patients requiring fixation of distal femur or proximal tibia fractures, where strong metaphyseal support and anatomic buttressing are necessary for proper healing.
Q: Where should the plate be stored before use?
A: Store the plate in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and always in its original sterile packaging to maintain sterility and integrity until surgery.
Q: What are the main benefits of the T-shaped buttress design?
A: The T-shaped buttress design offers enhanced stability at the fracture site, matches natural bone anatomy, and reduces the risk of plate migration, supporting robust bone healing in complex metaphyseal fractures.
Q: Is this plate reusable, and how should it be disposed of after use?
A: This plate is strictly intended for single-use only. After use, it should be disposed of following your institutions protocols for medical waste, ensuring patient safety and adherence to regulatory guidelines.
