Veterinary Locking H-Plate Type II 2.0 mm for Centralized Small Animal Bone Fixation

Description

The veterinary locking H-plate Type II 2.0 mm is a specialized orthopedic fixation implant engineered for centralized stabilization of small animal skeletal structures. Designed exclusively for veterinary orthopedic procedures, this plate features a distinctive Type II H-shaped geometry incorporating a 5+1+5 hole configuration. This layout includes five locking holes on each vertical arm and a single central connecting hole, allowing controlled load transfer through the middle of the construct.

The defining feature of the Type II H-plate is its reinforced central bridge. The centrally positioned locking hole serves as a transitional fixation point, enhancing construct continuity while allowing balanced force distribution across both sides of the plate. This design is particularly useful in veterinary cases where mid-segment reinforcement is required without increasing overall implant size.

The 2.0 mm fixed-angle locking system ensures that each screw locks securely into the plate, forming a rigid screw-plate interface. Because stability is achieved through angular locking rather than compression, periosteal blood supply is preserved, supporting biological bone healing. This makes the implant suitable for small animal patients with delicate bone structures, short fracture segments, or compromised bone quality.

The bilateral five-hole arms provide extensive anchorage options, enabling surgeons to distribute fixation points strategically along parallel bone segments. This configuration improves resistance to bending, torsional, and shear forces while maintaining a compact and anatomically adaptable profile. The single central hole enhances structural balance without overcrowding the fixation zone.

A low-profile contour and smoothly finished edges minimize soft tissue irritation and facilitate atraumatic placement. Precision-machined locking holes support accurate screw alignment and efficient handling during surgery. These features contribute to reduced operative time and improved post-operative comfort for small animal patients.

Veterinary locking H-plates Type II are commonly used in fracture stabilization, reconstructive orthopedic procedures, and corrective surgeries requiring centralized support with bilateral anchorage. Manufactured exclusively for veterinary use, the 2.0 mm locking H-plate Type II integrates seamlessly with standard veterinary locking screw systems. Its unique 5+1+5 configuration, angular stability, and compact design make it a dependable solution for advanced small animal orthopedic care.
