About DCS Locking Plate
DCS (Dynamic Condylar Screw) Locking Plates are widely used in orthopedic trauma surgeries to manage distal femoral fractures, including intra-articular and metaphyseal fractures. Manufactured from high-quality surgical-grade stainless steel, they offer excellent durability, strength, and biocompatibility. Advin Health Care supplies these plates to help surgeons achieve stable fixation while reducing the risk of screw loosening. The DCS system allows for controlled compression at the fracture site and provides angular stability, promoting faster healing and improved functional outcomes. These plates are compatible with standard locking screws, making them versatile for various distal femur fracture patterns.

Advanced Locking Plate TechnologyThe Dynamic Condylar Screw (DCS) Locking Plate utilizes cold-forged, CNC-machined technology for precise fracture stabilization. Its pre-contoured design and multiple locking holes guarantee adaptable fixation. Engineered to support both compression and locking screws, this plate addresses complex orthopedic challenges, providing reliable results in surgical procedures for distal femur and metaphyseal fractures.
Exceptional Material Quality and SafetyConstructed from high-grade stainless steel or titanium alloy, the DCS Locking Plate ensures high tensile strength and outstanding corrosion resistance. Each plate is electropolished and passivated, maximizing biocompatibility and durability. Certified to ISO 13485 standards and CE marked, the plate's sterilized packaging and 5-year shelf life protect both patients and surgical teams.
Design for Flexibility and Ease of UseAvailable in various lengths (90mm to 200mm), the DCS Locking Plate offers versatility for diverse anatomical and clinical needs. Its portable, lightweight design facilitates easy handling, while the multiple-hole configuration provides high positional accuracy to optimize fracture fixation and postoperative outcomes. The radio-opaque construction ensures clear imaging during and after surgery.
FAQ's of DCS Locking Plate:
Q: How is the DCS Locking Plate used during orthopedic surgery?
A: The DCS Locking Plate is applied manually to stabilize distal femoral fractures, metaphyseal fractures, and peri-prosthetic fractures. With its pre-contoured shape and multiple locking holes, surgeons can achieve precise and secure placement, enhancing bone alignment and promoting effective healing.
Q: What screw types are compatible with the DCS Locking Plate?
A: This plate is designed to be compatible with both dynamic condylar screws (DCS) and standard locking screws, typically with a diameter of 4.5mm, allowing flexibility in surgical technique and fixation strength.
Q: When should a surgeon choose this plate for fracture fixation?
A: Surgeons select the DCS Locking Plate when treating complex distal femur fractures, metaphyseal fractures, or fractures around prostheses that require a combination of strong fixation, multiple screw options, and high positional accuracy.
Q: Where can the DCS Locking Plate be sourced?
A: Manufactured and supplied in India, the plate is available through exporters, manufacturers, suppliers, and authorized traders specializing in orthopedic surgical implants.
Q: What is the sterilization process recommended for this implant?
A: The DCS Locking Plate is compatible with Gamma irradiation, ethylene oxide (ETO), and autoclave sterilization methods, ensuring safety and sterility before surgical implantation.
Q: How does the plate benefit fracture healing?
A: Its cold-forged, electropolished design provides high tensile strength and corrosion resistance, while multiple locking and compression holes guarantee stable fixation. This promotes optimal bone healing and reduces the risk of complications after surgery.
Q: What are the storage requirements for the DCS Locking Plate?
A: Store the plate in a dry, sterile environment in its original, sealed packaging. The product maintains a shelf life of five years under proper storage conditions, ensuring it remains suitable for surgical use.
