The Orthopedic Locking Spring Plate 3.5mm SS316L is a specialized implant designed for the fixation of fractures, particularly those in areas where a spring-like fixation is required for both stability and dynamic support. This plate incorporates locking plate technology with a spring mechanism, making it ideal for fractures where precise alignment and controlled compression or flexibility are needed. It is made from SS316L (Surgical-Grade Stainless Steel), which ensures high durability, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility.Features:Material:SS316L (Surgical-Grade Stainless Steel):High mechanical strength ensures the plate can withstand forces exerted during the healing process.Excellent corrosion resistance, providing long-term stability in the body.Biocompatible, minimizing the risk of adverse reactions in the surrounding tissues.Design:Spring Mechanism:The spring plate design incorporates an element of elastic compression and dynamic fixation that adapts to the bone's natural movement during healing. This spring-like action provides stable fixation while still allowing for slight bone motion, which can enhance healing.Locking Plate Technology:The plate features locking screw holes that allow for the insertion of 3.5mm locking screws. This design provides angular stability by locking the screws in place and preventing screw back-out, even in osteoporotic or weak bone.Low-Profile Design:Designed to minimize soft tissue irritation, reducing discomfort and the risk of post-operative complications such as pressure sores or tendon irritation.Versatile Fixation:The plate can be used for fractures that require both compression and dynamic stabilization, making it suitable for a wide range of orthopedic applications.Screw Compatibility:3.5mm Locking Screws:Locking screws provide superior angular stability by locking into the plate and preventing any screw loosening or back-out.Cortical Screws:Optionally, non-locking cortical screws can be used for additional fixation, such as compression or dynamic support depending on the surgical need.Imaging Compatibility:
The plate is radiolucent, meaning it does not interfere with imaging techniques like fluoroscopy or X-rays, which helps guide the surgeon during placement and allows for post-operative monitoring.Indications:The Locking Spring Plate 3.5mm SS316L is commonly used in the following conditions:Comminuted Fractures:Particularly useful for multi-fragmentary fractures where a stable, dynamic fixation is required to allow for natural healing and bone remodeling.Osteoporotic Bone:Ideal for elderly patients or those with osteopenia/osteoporosis where bone quality is compromised and additional fixation strength is required.Fractures Requiring Compression:Used in fractures that benefit from compression or slight dynamic fixation to aid in bone healing.Reconstructive Surgery:Used in nonunions or malunions, where precise fracture alignment and support are essential to restore function and anatomy.High-Energy Trauma:Effective for fractures resulting from trauma where stable, dynamic fixation is needed to handle the stresses during healing.Advantages:Dynamic Stabilization:The spring mechanism provides flexibility, allowing for slight movement at the fracture site, which can promote natural healing processes and bone remodeling.Stable Fixation:Locking screws offer secure, stable fixation that prevents screw loosening, making the plate effective in osteoporotic bone or areas with low bone density.Low-Profile:
It can be used for various types of fractures, including long bone fractures, peri-articular fractures, and fractures requiring both compression and angular stability.Biocompatibility:
