About T Locking Plate
T Locking Plates are widely used in orthopedic trauma surgeries for managing intra-articular and metaphyseal fractures, particularly in the wrist and ankle region. Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel, they offer high durability, strength, and biocompatibility. Advin Health Care provides these plates to help surgeons achieve stable fixation and better alignment, reducing the risk of implant loosening and improving healing outcomes. The unique T-shaped structure makes them ideal for fractures near joints where space is limited, ensuring proper support and faster recovery for patients.
Advanced Features:
-
T-shaped design for precise anatomical adaptation
-
Made from surgical-grade stainless steel for durability and safety
-
Locking mechanism ensures secure screw-plate fixation
-
Suitable for distal radius, distal tibia, and small bone fractures
-
Provides stability in osteoporotic and comminuted fractures
Precise Anatomical Fit and Secure FixationEach T Locking Plate is anatomically contoured with rounded and smooth edges to ensure maximum comfort and safety during and after implantation. The combi holes allow for versatile fixation, accommodating both locking and non-locking screws for improved bone stability. Radiopaque design ensures clear X-ray visibility post-operation.
Certified Quality and Safe SterilizationManufactured under stringent ISO 13485 and CE standards, these T locking plates are sterilized using reliable Gamma or ETO methods. Their sterile blister packaging maintains safety and integrity up to their five-year shelf life, and the plates are ready for immediate surgical use.
Versatile Application and Durable ConstructionSuitable for various fracture fixation procedures, the T Locking Plate is widely used in trauma care for long bones. The corrosion-resistant, high-strength stainless steel or titanium material ensures longevity and durability, while the precision-machined structure meets the rigorous demands of orthopedic surgery.
FAQ's of T Locking Plate:
Q: How is the T Locking Plate used during surgery?
A: The T Locking Plate is positioned over the fractured bone area-commonly the distal radius or femur-and secured using compatible locking or cortical screws through combi holes. Its anatomical contour ensures a precise fit, stabilizing the fracture and aiding efficient healing.
Q: What sizes and configurations are available for the T Locking Plate?
A: This plate comes in various sizes such as 2.7mm and 3.5mm, and can be customized in dimension (L*W*H) as per surgical requirements. Different finishes like matte and mirror polish are also available, ensuring flexibility in selection.
Q: When should a T Locking Plate be considered for bone fixation?
A: T Locking Plates are recommended for fracture fixation of the distal radius, distal femur, and other long bones, especially where stable and rigid support is necessary for recovery. Surgeons may opt for this plate when anatomical contouring and secure screw fixation are priorities.
Q: Where should T Locking Plates be stored before use?
A: To maintain sterility and integrity, the plates should be stored in a dry, clean environment as instructed. They are supplied in a sterile blister pack to protect against contamination until the time of surgery.
Q: What is the benefit of using combi holes in the plate design?
A: Combi holes on the T Locking Plate allow for the use of both locking and non-locking (cortical) screws. This provides surgeons with greater flexibility in fixation methods, enhancing stability and adapting to various bone conditions.
Q: How does the plate's material and finish contribute to patient outcomes?
A: Manufactured from either stainless steel or titanium, these plates offer high strength, excellent biocompatibility, and corrosion resistance. The smooth, contoured edges help reduce soft tissue irritation, supporting better patient comfort and recovery.
