DHS Locking Plate Long Barrel

£150.00 – £160.00

Size: The plate is available in two sizes: 38mm and 25mm. The thickness is likely 3.5mm, making it suitable for various bone sizes and surgical procedures.
Material: The plate appears to be made of titanium, a common material used in orthopedic implants due to its strength and biocompatibility. The blue color is likely due to a coating or treatment applied to the plate.
Shape: The plate has a distinctive L-shape, designed to match the anatomy of the distal femur bone. It has a long, straight portion that runs along the lateral side of the femur, and a shorter, curved portion that extends towards the medial side. This shape provides stability and support to the distal femur.
Holes: The plate has evenly spaced holes along its length, which are likely used for securing the plate to the bone with locking screws. The number of holes can vary from 3 to 20, depending on the specific plate size and configuration.
Angles: The plate is available in various angles, including 130, 135, 140, and 145 degrees. This allows for precise anatomical fit and optimal bone alignment.
Locking Mechanism: The plate is designed to be used with locking screws. These screws have a special thread that engages with the plate, preventing them from backing out and providing a more secure fixation.
