Veterinary 4 Hole Straight Gap Locking Plate 2.0 mm for Small Animal Bone Support

Description

The veterinary four-hole straight gap locking plate 2.0 mm is a precision fixation implant designed for controlled skeletal support in small animal orthopedic surgery. Engineered specifically for veterinary applications, this implant utilizes a fixed-angle locking mechanism combined with a central gap to support biological fracture healing while maintaining structural stability. The straight plate profile allows accurate alignment along the bone axis, making it suitable for a variety of fracture stabilization scenarios in small animals.

This veterinary locking plate incorporates four locking screw interfaces positioned on either side of the central gap. This configuration enables balanced fixation while avoiding direct compression across the fracture zone. The locking interaction between screws and plate creates a stable construct that resists bending and rotational forces during post-operative movement. Such stability is particularly valuable in veterinary patients, where bone size and activity levels can vary considerably.

Available in compact 8 mm and 12 mm lengths, the implant offers flexibility for treating short bone segments and anatomically confined regions. These size options allow veterinary surgeons to select an implant that matches the fracture location without excessive plate coverage. The straight geometry supports consistent load distribution and maintains proper skeletal alignment throughout the healing process.

The low-profile, smooth-edged design of the plate helps reduce soft tissue irritation and supports atraumatic implantation. Preserving surrounding tissues is critical in veterinary orthopedic recovery, as it directly influences comfort, mobility, and healing quality. The contoured surface and refined hole edges enhance surgical handling and screw placement accuracy.

Straight gap locking plates are commonly used in veterinary fracture bridging, staged fixation, and alignment-preserving procedures. By maintaining controlled spacing at the fracture site, this implant promotes callus formation and indirect bone healing while providing sufficient mechanical support. This fixation strategy aligns with modern veterinary orthopedic principles focused on biological healing.

Manufactured exclusively for veterinary use, the 2.0 mm four-hole locking plate integrates seamlessly with standard veterinary fixation systems. Its compact size, reliable locking performance, and biological gap design make it a dependable solution for veterinary clinics and hospitals managing small animal orthopedic cases.
