Optilock® Distal Radius Plating System
No Two Fractures Are Alike, and No Single Implant Can Address All Fractures
Biomet acknowledges that no two fractures are alike, and therefore, no one implant can address all fracture types. The breadth of plates comprising the Biomet® OptiLock™ Distal Radius Plating System are individually designed to meet specific distal radius morphology requirements and fracture patterns. This comprehensive plating system offers optimal solutions that address a wide variety of fracture types and individual patient configurations.
Product Features and Benefits:
- Pre-contoured volar and radial plates yield optimal versatility in fixation
- 316 LVM stainless steel minimizes adverse effects on delicate tendinous structures
- Strategically positioned K-wire holes aid intra-operative plate templating and fracture reduction
- Versatile K-wire holes allow alternative 1.9mm non-locking screw fixation
- Unique Biomet SphereLock™ technology permits either locking or non-locking bone screw applications in every screw hole
- Cortical and cancellous locking and non-locking screws adjust to accommodate fixation requirements
- Alternative shorter locking screws buttress plate unicortically, eliminating potential soft tissue irritation from aggressive bicortical purchase
- All threaded plate holes direct locking screws in specific trajectories for optimal fixation and fracture reduction
- Fixed and variable angle drill guides facilitate precise placement of locking and non-locking screws
- Non-locking screws offer polyaxial angling in any plane for ideal fixation results
- System color-coding creates intra-operative efficiencies
- Instrument tray offers space for optional external Biomet Wrist-Fix™ Distal Radius Fixator
