TRILOCK CLAVICLE PLATES 2.8

FEATURES

Plate curvatures determined based on CT data
Choice of superior and anterior plate types
Eight-hole superior midshaft plates in three different bend variations
Specifically designed superior lateral shaft plate fits at the lateral end of the middle third to the beginning of the lateral third of the clavicle
Multiple screw fixation options and additional A/P flaps in the lateral section of superior lateral plates
Superior lateral plates featuring two flaps with the option of a flexible suture retrieval and fixation system
Chamfered and narrowed plate ends with preangled screw holes
Low plate profile with minimal screw head protrusion, rounded edges and a smooth surface for soft tissue protection
TriLock – multidirectional angular stability of ± 15° in all directions and in each screw hole*

CLINICAL BENEFITS

Straightforward anatomical fit on variously shaped bones with reduced need for plate bending
Relevant plate range offers flexible choice of the plates while keeping the system compact
Possibility to position the superior lateral plate laterally but away from the AC joint
More options for screw fixation and A/P flaps help to increase pull-out strength in the lateral section of superior lateral plates
Chamfered and narrowed plate ends with preangled screw holes facilitate less invasive plate placement and fixation
Consistent screw diameter of 2.8 mm for intraoperative simplicity

APTUS^® Shoulder

The shoulder is the most flexible joint in the human body and therefore is susceptible to injury. Fractures in the shoulder girdle belong to the most common fractures.

With the APTUS Shoulder portfolio, Medartis offers a versatile and anatomical solution to treat fractures, osteotomies and non-unions of the proximal humerus and the clavicle. The Proximal Humerus System 3.5 addresses the challenge of reaching a stable support in the calcar region to avoid the risk of loss of reduction. The Clavicle System 2.8 focuses on stability especially in lateral fractures.

Both systems feature a range of anatomically shaped plates to fit the individual anatomy. All of the implants take advantage of Medartis' innovative TriLock locking technology providing multidirectional angular stability.

APTUS Clavicle System 2.8

The APTUS Clavicle system provides surgeons with a versatile and anatomical solution to treat fractures, osteotomies, malunions and non-unions of the clavicle.

Its highlights include superior lateral plates that feature two flaps for additional screws from anterior to posterior to increase stability. Furthermore, a flexible suture retrieval and fixation system can be added to the plate to address affected ligaments.

A specifically designed superior lateral shaft plate can be positioned towards lateral without interfering with the acromioclavicular joint whilst offering increased fixation options in this area.

The sophisticated choice of anatomical plates based on CT data reduces the need for plate bending.

The efficient and user-oriented system is backed up with easy to use instrumentation and innovative features to live up to its attention to stability.
