T.plate 3.5mm

Our 3.5mm Conventional T-Plate is a highly reliable, time-tested small fragment orthopedic implant engineered for the rigid stabilization of metaphyseal and intra-articular fractures. Featuring a classic symmetric T-shaped geometry, this non-locking plate serves as a highly effective buttress or compression frame across flattened bone expansions. It is a premier surgical choice for managing fractures, non-unions, and corrective osteotomies of the distal radius, distal ulna, proximal humerus, and distal fibula.

Crafted from medical-grade, high-mirror electropolished Surgical Stainless Steel 316L or Premium Titanium Alloy, this plate is optimized for manual intraoperative customization. The transverse head accommodates standard 3.5mm cortical or cancellous screws to secure articular bone fragments, while the longitudinal shaft integrates smooth-sloped dynamic compression slots alongside an elongated compression hole. This configuration allows surgeons to finely adjust plate positioning and generate powerful horizontal interfragmentary compression across the fracture line during screw tightening.

Key Features & Benefits

• Dynamic Compression Shaft Holes: Designed with a smooth-sloped elongated slot alongside conventional compression holes, allowing standard 3.5mm cortical screws to exert powerful horizontal force to close fracture gaps.

• Transverse Articular Buttressing: The horizontal head of the “T” perfectly hugs flat metaphyseal bone surfaces, providing rigid mechanical support to prevent the collapse of small articular fragments.

• Highly Malleable Profile: Engineered with an optimal material thickness that balances superior bending strength with the elasticity required for precise, intraoperative contouring to unique patient anatomy.

• Ultra-Low Subcutaneous Mass: The low-profile thickness and slim width minimize implant palpability beneath thin tissue layers, drastically reducing the risk of post-operative hardware irritation or skin protrusion.

• High-Mirror Electropolishing: Advanced surface treatment maximizes biocompatibility, lowers friction against moving tendons, and decreases the risk of bacterial biofilm adherence.
