Thin Narrow Plate

Thin Narrow Plate

Plates for large fragments
Thin Narrow plate is a system used in fractures of the humerus, radius and ulna.
These plates are fixed by both cortical and cancellous screws.

Plate hole geometries

Non-symmetrical holes
Some Dynamic Compression Plates feature non-symmetrical holes which allow to achieve compression in only one direction. These plates feature a mid section which is placed at the position of fragments to be compressed. The non-symmetrical DCP holes are shaped like a portion of an inclined and angled cylinder. They possess one compres¬sion point at the inclined side and one neutral point in the middle.

Screw angulations
The DCP allows up to 25° longitudinal and 7° transverse screw angulation.

Plates available with 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13 & 14 holes.

Screw to be used: Fixation with Ø 3.5 mm small cortical screws and Ø4.0 mm. small
cancellous screws.
