Straight Bridge Plate 2.0mm

Key Features and Benefits of the Straight Bridge Plate 2.0mm

The Straight Bridge Plate 2.0mm T: 0.8mm offers enhanced stability and durability for bone fixation. Its increased thickness of 0.8mm provides superior strength compared to thinner options, ensuring long-lasting support. Despite its thicker profile, the plate maintains a low-profile design, minimizing tissue disruption and promoting faster recovery. Crafted from high-grade titanium, it offers exceptional biocompatibility and resistance to corrosion. This plate is ideal for complex fractures and demanding surgical procedures, providing reliable and long-lasting support for bone healing.

Indications for Straight Bridge Plate 2.0mm

The Straight Bridge Plate 2.0mm T: 0.8mm is indicated for a variety of orthopedic and maxillofacial surgical procedures requiring enhanced stability and support for bone fixation. Its increased thickness and strength make it suitable for:

• Complex Fractures: Stabilization of complex or comminuted fractures where greater structural support is necessary.
• Osteoporosis-related Fractures: Fixation of fractures in patients with osteoporosis or osteopenia.
• Load-bearing Bone Fractures: Repair of fractures in bones subjected to high mechanical stress, such as the femur and tibia.
• Large Bone Defects: Reconstruction of significant bone defects requiring robust stabilization.
• Revision Surgery: Stabilization of bone grafts or previously implanted plates that have failed or become unstable.

How a Straight Bridge Plate 2.0mm Works

The Straight Bridge Plate 2.0mm T: 0.8mm offers enhanced stability and support for bone fracture repair. The plate is secured to the bone using screws, creating a rigid structure. The increased thickness of 0.8mm provides superior strength compared to thinner options, ensuring reliable fixation and preventing implant failure. By bridging the bone gap and distributing forces evenly, the plate promotes bone healing and union, ultimately restoring the bone’s structural integrity.

FAQ

Q1: What is a Straight Bridge Plate?

A Straight Bridge Plate is a medical implant used in orthopedic surgery to provide strong and stable support for bone fractures.

Q2: What do the numbers “2.0mm T: 0.8mm” signify in the plate?

The “2.0mm” refers to the width of the plate, while “T: 0.8mm” indicates the thickness of the plate.

Q3: What material is typically used for Straight Bridge Plates?

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

Q4: What are the primary applications of a Straight Bridge Plate?

Straight Bridge Plates are used in orthopedic surgery for fracture fixation, especially in cases requiring enhanced stability and support.

Q5: How is the Straight Bridge Plate secured to the bone?

The plate is typically secured to the bone using screws designed for this purpose. These screws are inserted through pre-drilled holes in the plate and into the bone.

Q6: What are the advantages of using a Straight Bridge Plate with 2.0mm width and 0.8mm thickness?

The increased thickness provides superior strength compared to thinner plates, while maintaining a relatively low profile, offering a balance of stability and minimal invasiveness.

Q7: Is the Straight Bridge Plate a permanent implant?

In most cases, the Straight Bridge 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.

Q8: Can the Straight Bridge Plate be used in conjunction with other implants?

Yes, the Straight Bridge Plate can be used in combination with other implants, such as bone screws and bone grafts, for complex fracture repairs.

Q9: What is the typical recovery time after surgery involving a Straight Bridge Plate?

Recovery time varies depending on the severity of the fracture, the patient’s overall health, and other factors. However, the use of a thicker plate can contribute to increased stability and potentially faster healing.

Q10: Are there any risks associated with using a Straight Bridge Plate?

As with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks such as infection, implant failure, or allergic reactions. However, these risks are generally low when the implant is used correctly and post-operative care is followed.
