Locking Double Y-Plate Type II 2.0 mm With Gap for Controlled Small Animal Fixation

Description

The veterinary locking double Y-plate Type II with gap 2.0 mm is a specialized orthopedic fixation implant designed for controlled stabilization in small animal surgical applications. Developed exclusively for veterinary use, this implant incorporates a dual Y configuration combined with a central gap that allows balanced fixation while accommodating biological healing requirements. The Type II geometry is intended for cases where segmented stabilization and controlled load transfer are preferred.

This implant features three locking holes on each end, forming a symmetrical anchoring system that supports stable fixation across opposing bone segments. The integrated central gap reduces stress concentration at the fracture site and promotes more natural load sharing during the healing process. This design is particularly advantageous in veterinary cases involving complex fractures, corrective osteotomies, or regions where maintaining biological activity at the fracture interface is essential.

The 2.0 mm fixed-angle locking system ensures that each screw locks securely into the plate, creating a rigid and angularly stable construct. By eliminating dependence on plate-to-bone compression, the system helps preserve periosteal blood supply and supports consistent bone regeneration. This makes the implant suitable for small animal patients with delicate bone structures or reduced bone quality.

Available in 12 mm and 18 mm lengths, the veterinary locking double Y-plate Type II offers flexibility for varying anatomical requirements. The shorter length supports localized stabilization, while the extended option allows broader force distribution when needed. This range enables veterinary surgeons to select the most appropriate configuration based on fracture pattern and bone size without unnecessary implant bulk.

The low-profile contour and smoothly finished edges minimize soft tissue irritation and enhance surgical handling. Precision-machined locking holes support accurate screw placement and reliable fixation. These features contribute to reduced operative time and improved post-operative comfort for small animal patients.

Veterinary locking double Y-plates with gap are commonly used in fracture fixation, reconstructive orthopedic procedures, and corrective alignment surgeries where controlled stabilization is required. Manufactured exclusively for veterinary orthopedic use, the 2.0 mm Type II locking double Y-plate integrates seamlessly with standard veterinary locking screw systems. Its combination of symmetrical anchorage, biological gap design, and angular stability makes it a dependable solution for advanced small animal orthopedic care.
