2.0mm biological healing plates

These Plates are designed to bridge a comminuted section of shattered long bone. It effectively acts as a bridging plate. No attempt is made to reconstruct. The fracture site is not disturbed to minimise de-vitalisation and contamination. The Plate maintains length and permits weight bearing. Use of these plates avoids leaving empty screw holes over the fracture site which significantly weakens the construct. Plates are available in 7 or 8 hole versions. Each type of Plate is available in a range of lengths. BHP2008065 the Cat Femur Plate is contoured for the average cat femur. Use when proximal and distal sections are intact and the body of the femur is un-reconstructable. If it cannot be reconstructed it is better not to try. All holes are round as compression is not required and there is better screw/ plate contact with round holes.
