PERIPROSTHETIC
Advantages
- Groove and notches for secure positioning of the wire cerclages
- Low-contact design to protect the periosteum
Fractures
- Implant steel
- 6 to 14 notches
- 8 to 16 staggered holes
- Lengths 124 mm to 270 mm
- Plate thickness 4.0 mm and 5.1 mm
- Width 12 mm and 16.3 mm
- Combination holes for standard or angle-stable cortical screws Ø 4.5 mm or optional hole plugs
- Fixation holes for Kirschner wires
- Anatomically shaped
- DC-holes at the plate ends
Advantages
- The strip can be retensioned
- High level of resistance
- Studs on the “bone-facing” side prevent the strip from slipping and also reduce osseointegration
- Low osseointegration due to equal distribution of compressive stress over the bones (compared to cables and wires)
- No disruption of periostal blood supply, as proven in extensive studies
- Metal removal much easier than with cables or wires, which reduces the operating time
- Universal use for femur and humerus
Fractures
- Material: Pure titanium
- Length: 260 mm
- Thickness: 0.4 mm
- Width: 8.0 mm
- A studded structure over 70 mm of its length
- Notches to hook in the strip
- Clasp to secure the strip
