Small Bones 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 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 also allow placement of standard cortex and cancellous bone screws on one side or threaded conical locking screws on the opposite side of each hole.

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. Uniform hole spacing.

5. Load (compression) and neutral screw positions.

6. Locking plate system has combination locking and compression holes (Combi holes).
