About Locking Plates
Locking Plates are widely used in orthopedic trauma surgeries for the fixation of complex fractures where traditional plates may not provide sufficient stability. Manufactured from high-quality surgical-grade stainless steel, they ensure strength, durability, and biocompatibility. Advin Health Care offers these plates to help surgeons achieve precise and stable fixation, particularly in cases of osteoporotic bone or comminuted fractures. The locking mechanism between the plate and screw eliminates the need for plate-to-bone compression, reducing the risk of loosening. These plates are available in various anatomical designs for different bones, making them highly versatile in trauma orthopedic applications.

Locking mechanism for secure screw-plate fixation
-
Provides stability even in osteoporotic and comminuted bone
-
Available in anatomical shapes for different bones
-
Reliable, durable, and versatile for trauma orthopedic surgery
Versatile Plate Design for Varied FracturesOur locking plates are available in multiple styles, including straight, T-plates, L-plates, and recon plates, enabling precise adaptation to different anatomical locations and fracture types. Multi-directional locking holes and anatomical contours optimize fixation and healing for both adult and pediatric patients.
Superior Material Quality and Surface FinishEngineered from medical-grade stainless steel and finished with electropolishing, these plates deliver exceptional corrosion resistance and smooth, patient-friendly surfaces. The high precision CNC machining ensures accurate dimensions and consistent quality, supporting safe and effective bone stabilization.
Reliable Sterilization and PackagingEach plate is sterilized using gamma irradiation or autoclaving and securely packaged in sterile blister packs. This guarantees product integrity during storage and handling, with a shelf life of five years. Proper storage in cool, dry areas away from sunlight maintains sterility and quality until use.
FAQ's of Locking Plates:
Q: How are locking plates used in orthopedic and trauma surgeries?
A: Locking plates are surgically implanted by a trained orthopedic surgeon to stabilize bone fractures. Their combi holes allow for both locking and compression techniques, providing secure fixation and aiding in the healing process.
Q: What types of bone fractures can these plates address?
A: These plates are designed for a variety of fracture patterns, including diaphyseal, metaphyseal, and periarticular fractures. The availability of straight, T-plate, L-plate, and recon plate designs ensures suitability for diverse anatomical requirements.
Q: When is it recommended to use a locking plate with combi holes?
A: Locking plates are recommended for cases where rigid fixation is required, particularly in complex, comminuted, or osteoporotic fractures. The combi holes enable the surgeon to choose between locking and compression modes, based on fracture characteristics.
Q: Where should locking plates be stored before implantation?
A: Plates should be kept in their sterile blister packaging, stored in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight. This preserves sterility and maintains the plate's structural integrity until surgery.
Q: What sterilization methods are available for these plates?
A: The plates are pre-sterilized using either gamma irradiation or autoclaving, ensuring effective elimination of microbes and patient safety. Both methods comply with medical device standards and maintain product quality.
Q: What are the benefits of using electropolished, precision machined plates?
A: Electropolished surfaces help minimize tissue irritation and reduce infection risk, while precision CNC machining offers consistent accuracy and compatibility. These features contribute to enhanced patient comfort and reliable fracture stabilization.
