About 2.7 Mm T Dorsal Plate
A 2.7mm Dorsal Plate is a type of medical implant used in orthopedic surgery for the treatment of fractures and other injuries involving the dorsal (back) aspect of bones, typically in the hand or foot. It is specifically designed to provide stability and support to fractured bones, promoting proper alignment and facilitating the healing process. During surgery, the 2.7mm Dorsal Plate is positioned along the dorsal surface of the bone and fixed in place using screws or other fixation devices.
Precision in Orthopedic RepairCrafted with a precise anatomic curve, the 2.7 mm T Dorsal Plate adapts effortlessly to dorsal bone contours. This alignment supports stable fixation in hand and foot surgeries, reducing the chance of malunion while accommodating a variety of bone shapes and sizes. Designed for ease of handling, it optimizes both surgeon performance and patient recovery outcomes.
Uncompromising Safety and StandardsOur plates are produced from premium steel and finished with electropolishing for smoothness and corrosion resistance. Each plate is sterile, latex-free, and individually blister-packed, adhering to ISO 13485 and CE marking requirements. This ensures patient safety as well as compliance with international regulatory standards in surgical environments.
Radiolucency for Enhanced ImagingThe T Dorsal Plate is radiolucent-with only the metallic outline visible on imaging-allowing surgeons to clearly assess fracture healing and implant position during post-operative follow-up. This facilitates effective progress evaluation and informed clinical decisions with minimal imaging interference.
FAQ's of 2.7 Mm T Dorsal Plate:
Q: How is the 2.7 mm T Dorsal Plate used during orthopedic trauma surgery?
A: The 2.7 mm T Dorsal Plate is typically fixed with 2.7 mm cortex screws to stabilize fractures in the metacarpal and metatarsal bones. It is contoured to fit dorsal bone structures of the hand or foot and secured after proper alignment of the fractured bone segments.
Q: What are the key benefits of the electropolished and smooth surface finish?
A: The electropolished surface minimizes tissue irritation, reduces bacterial adherence, and provides resistance to corrosion, enhancing biocompatibility and long-term implant performance.
Q: When should a surgeon consider using this specific plate design?
A: This T-shaped dorsal plate is recommended when anatomical curvature and optimal support are critical, particularly in complex or comminuted fractures of metacarpal or metatarsal bones in hand or foot surgeries.
Q: Where can this dorsal plate be effectively implanted?
A: It is designed for use on the dorsal aspect of the hand and foot, specifically for fracture repair in metacarpal and metatarsal bones, where it follows the natural dorsal contour for stable and secure fixation.
Q: What is the sterilization process before use?
A: Each T Dorsal Plate is provided sterile via autoclave or gamma radiation sterilization methods, and is individually packaged in a blister pack to ensure sterility is maintained until the point of surgery.
Q: How does radiolucency benefit post-operative imaging?
A: Radiolucency allows the plate to remain nearly invisible on X-rays, except for its metallic outline, making it easier to monitor bone healing and implant placement post-operatively without significant obstruction.
