Locking T-Plate 2.0 mm Veterinary Type for Small Animal Bone Stabilization

Description

The veterinary Type I locking T-plate 2.0 mm is a specialized orthopedic implant designed for stable fixation in small animal bone stabilization procedures. Developed exclusively for veterinary use, this implant features a compact T-shaped configuration with two head holes that provide secure anchorage in metaphyseal and transitional bone regions where precise control is essential. The Type I head geometry supports focused fixation while maintaining a streamlined plate profile.

This veterinary locking T-plate utilizes a 2.0 mm fixed-angle locking system that creates a rigid screw–plate interface. By locking the screws directly into the plate, the construct maintains angular stability and reduces the risk of loosening during functional loading. This is particularly beneficial in small animal patients, where bone dimensions and quality can vary significantly.

The plate is available with 3-hole, 4-hole, and 5-hole shaft configurations, allowing veterinary surgeons to select the appropriate fixation length based on fracture location and required support. These options provide flexibility for both localized stabilization and extended fixation coverage while preserving anatomical alignment. The straight shaft design promotes even load distribution along the bone axis during the healing process.

A low-profile contour helps minimize interference with surrounding soft tissues, supporting improved post-operative comfort and mobility. Smoothly finished edges and refined locking holes enhance surgical handling and reduce the potential for tissue irritation. These design characteristics are especially important in veterinary orthopedic procedures, where soft tissue preservation directly influences recovery outcomes.

Type I locking T-plates are commonly used in veterinary fracture management, corrective alignment procedures, and stabilization of metaphyseal bone segments in small animals. The two-head configuration allows controlled fixation near widened bone regions while maintaining structural simplicity. The fixed-angle design reduces reliance on plate-to-bone compression, making the implant suitable for patients with delicate or compromised bone structures.

Manufactured specifically for veterinary orthopedic applications, this 2.0 mm Type I locking T-plate integrates seamlessly with standard veterinary fixation instruments. Its precise geometry, variable shaft lengths, and dependable locking performance make it a reliable choice for veterinary clinics and hospitals performing advanced small animal orthopedic surgeries.
