Femur Internal Fixation


Meril's Locking Plate System (LPS) is part of a titanium plate and screw system that merges locking screw technology with conventional plating techniques.

Indication

Meril's Locking Plate System - Narrow and Broad, are intended for fixation of various long bones, such as the humerus, femur and tibia. They are also for use in fixation of periprosthetic fractures, osteopenic bone, and nonunions and malunions.

Benefits

  1. Combi hole allows the surgeon to choose between conventional plating techniques, locked plating techniques, or a combination of both.

  2. Threaded hole section for locking screws provides ability to create fixed-angle constructs.

  3. Limited-contact plate design reduces plate-to-bone contact, thus limiting vascular trauma.

  4. The preshaped, low-profile plate minimizes potential issues with soft tissues and reduces need for plate contouring.

  5. A tapered, rounded plate tip facilitates a minimally invasive surgical technique.
