Veterinary 1.5 mm T-Plate for Small Bone Fracture Fixation

Description

The T-Plate 1.5 mm is a precision-engineered veterinary orthopedic implant designed for the fixation of small bone fractures and osteotomies where controlled stability and minimal implant bulk are essential. This mini T-shaped plate is especially suitable for use in small animals, toy breeds, cats, and delicate anatomical regions that require a low-profile yet reliable fixation solution.

The characteristic T-shaped head allows enhanced fixation at metaphyseal and periarticular regions by accommodating multiple screws in a compact area. This design improves rotational stability and distributes forces evenly across the fracture site, reducing the risk of implant failure. The slender shaft extends fixation along the bone axis, providing balanced load sharing during the healing process.

With its reduced thickness and narrow width, the T-Plate 1.5 mm minimizes soft tissue irritation and promotes better postoperative comfort. The plate is particularly effective in areas with limited soft tissue coverage, where implant prominence must be kept to a minimum. Its smooth surface finish and rounded edges further contribute to reduced tissue trauma and improved biocompatibility.

The uniform hole spacing allows precise screw placement and predictable fixation, supporting accurate fracture alignment. The plate is easy to contour intraoperatively, enabling surgeons to adapt it to the natural curvature of small bones without compromising mechanical integrity. This makes it an excellent choice for phalanges, metacarpals, metatarsals, distal radius, ulna, and other small skeletal structures commonly treated in veterinary orthopedics.

Manufactured in high-quality stainless steel and titanium options, the T-Plate 1.5 mm offers flexibility in material selection. Stainless steel provides proven strength and cost efficiency, while titanium offers superior biocompatibility, reduced weight, and enhanced compatibility with diagnostic imaging.

Available in multiple hole configurations, the plate allows surgeons to select the appropriate length and fixation strategy based on fracture pattern and patient size. Whether used for trauma cases, corrective osteotomies, or reconstructive procedures, the T-Plate 1.5 mm delivers dependable performance, precise handling, and consistent clinical outcomes.
