Arc Locking Plate 1.5mm

Key Features and Benefits of the Arc Locking Plate 1.5mm

The Arc Locking Plate 1.5mm offers exceptional strength, stability, and adaptability for complex bone reconstructions. Its curved design, combined with the locking mechanism and minimal thickness, ensures optimal fit, secure fixation, and minimal tissue disruption. Crafted from high-grade titanium, the plate provides exceptional biocompatibility and durability. This innovative implant is ideal for challenging surgical procedures requiring precise bone contouring and robust support.

Indications for Arc Locking Plate 1.5mm

The Arc Locking Plate 1.5mm is indicated for a variety of maxillofacial surgical procedures requiring enhanced stability and support, particularly in areas with curved bone anatomy. Key indications include:

• Complex Fractures: Stabilization of complex facial and cranial fractures with curved contours, such as zygomatic arch and orbital floor fractures.
• Orthognathic Surgery: Correction of jaw discrepancies and malocclusions involving curved bone segments.
• Craniomaxillofacial Trauma: Management of complex facial trauma with curved bone morphology.
• Onlay bone grafting: Securement of bone grafts in areas with curved bone surfaces.
• Osteotomy: Stabilization of curved bone segments during osteotomy procedures for corrective bone alignment.

How an Arc Locking Plate 1.5mm Works

The Arc Locking Plate 1.5mm T: 0.6mm is designed to provide optimal support and stability in areas where the bone has a curved contour. Its curved shape, combined with the locking mechanism and minimal thickness, allows for exceptional adaptability to the natural curvature of bones, ensuring a secure and stable fit. The plate is secured to the bone using locking screws, creating a rigid framework. The 1.5mm width and 0.6mm thickness provide a balance of strength and minimal invasiveness, promoting bone healing and reducing the risk of implant failure. By closely following the bone’s anatomy, the Arc Locking Plate helps to restore proper alignment and function.

FAQ

Q1: What is an Arc Locking Plate?

An Arc Locking Plate is a medical implant designed with a curved shape and a locking mechanism for enhanced stability and support in areas with curved bone anatomy.

Q2: What do the numbers “1.5mm T: 0.6mm” signify in the plate?

The “1.5mm” refers to the width of the plate, while “T: 0.6mm” indicates the thickness of the plate.

Q3: What is the significance of the locking mechanism?

The locking mechanism prevents screw backout, ensuring a secure and stable fixation of bone fragments.

Q4: What material is typically used for Arc Locking Plates?

Arc Locking Plates are commonly made from titanium due to its biocompatibility, strength, and resistance to corrosion.

Q5: What are the primary applications of an Arc Locking Plate?

Arc Locking Plates are used in maxillofacial surgery for complex fractures, bone reconstructions, and procedures requiring support for curved bone structures.

Q6: How is the Arc Locking Plate secured to the bone?

The plate is secured to the bone using locking screws, which create a rigid and stable connection.

Q7: What are the advantages of using an Arc Locking Plate compared to straight plates?

Arc Locking Plates offer superior adaptability to bone contours, resulting in a more secure and stable fixation compared to straight plates.

Q8: Is the Arc Locking Plate a permanent implant?

In most cases, the Arc Locking Plate is designed as a permanent implant to provide long-term support and stability to the bone. Removal is typically considered only in specific circumstances.

Q9: Can the Arc Locking Plate be customized to fit specific patient anatomy?

While standard sizes are available, some manufacturers may offer customization options to fit specific patient anatomy and surgical requirements.

Q10: What is the typical recovery time after surgery involving an Arc Locking Plate?

Recovery time varies depending on the extent of the surgery and the individual patient. However, the minimal invasiveness of the plate can contribute to faster healing.
