Veterinary Locking Burr Hole Plate 2.0 mm Type II for Small Animal Skull Stabilization

Description

The veterinary locking burr hole plate 2.0 mm Type II is a precision cranial fixation implant engineered for secure stabilization of burr hole sites in small animal patients. Developed specifically for veterinary neurosurgical and cranial reconstructive procedures, this implant provides controlled, multi-directional fixation while maintaining a compact and low-profile footprint on the skull surface.

The Type II configuration features an expanded radial geometry that differs from traditional burr hole designs by offering increased peripheral coverage around the cranial opening. Six evenly distributed locking fixation arms extend from a reinforced central plate body, allowing stable anchorage across a wider bone contact area. This design improves load sharing and enhances construct stability in cases where cranial bone thickness or quality may be compromised.

Designed for use with a 2.0 mm locking screw system, the plate forms a fixed-angle interface that maintains screw alignment and minimizes micro-motion at the bone-implant junction. Unlike conventional non-locking systems, this locking construct does not rely on plate compression, helping preserve local bone perfusion and reduce the risk of loosening over time.

The Type II burr hole plate is particularly suited for veterinary procedures involving cranial access, including decompressive surgery, diagnostic burr hole creation, cranial trauma repair, and reconstructive skull stabilization. Its symmetrical multi-arm structure allows surgeons to select optimal screw trajectories while adapting to patient-specific anatomy.

Smooth surface finishing and rounded contours reduce soft tissue irritation and help prevent post-operative discomfort. The low-profile thickness minimizes implant prominence beneath the skin, which is especially important in small animal cranial procedures where soft tissue coverage is limited.

Veterinary surgeons benefit from the plate’s intuitive handling and compatibility with standard 2.0 mm locking instrumentation, enabling efficient intraoperative placement. The six-hole configuration provides reliable fixation without excessive hardware bulk, balancing mechanical stability with anatomical sensitivity.

The veterinary locking burr hole plate Type II offers a dependable solution for small animal cranial fixation, combining angular stability, anatomical adaptability, and veterinary-specific engineering. Its advanced radial design supports consistent outcomes in complex cranial and neurosurgical interventions.
