The main thing you need to know is these plates aren't for large dogs or heavy load-bearing in big breeds—the 1.1mm is really for cats or small-breed fracture work, and even the 1.6mm has its limits on larger femurs, but for what it's built for, we've seen it hold up well in house.
We run an HPLC purity check of titanium stock before machining, then a mechanical pull test on sample plates from each production run—our ISO 13485 audit requires this, and we keep raw data on file for three years.
Suface finish is electropolished (gamma sterilized in individual packs), and we usually have stock on the straight, T, and reconstruction plates, but the L-plate can take 20 working days or so if you need a specific screw hole pattern.
1.6mm plates take 2.0mm locking screws, 1.1mm take 1.5mm—obviously—and what it does is give you decent stiffness without being too bulky for a cat's radius or a small dog's humerus.
5, our company offer a retest policy if you need a second COA from a third-party lab for your own compliance, though we've only had two requests on this in the last year.
One thing that surprises buyers is the batch consistency—we actually reject about 3-4% of matrial from the mill if teh Ti-6Al-4V ELI certification doesn't match our tolerance window, so you're not getting the same variance you'd see with cheaper grade 5.
The 1.1mm plates are for smaller bones or less load-bearing cases, like cats or small dogs, while the 1.6mm plates handle heavier weight or more stress, like in larger dogs or repairs needing extra stability. Both use the same Ti-6Al-4V ELI titanium, so strength-to-weight is solid either way.
Yes, the system works with both 1.5mm and 2.0mm locking screws, so you can match screw size to the plate thickness and bone condition. The 1.5mm screws pair with the 1.1mm plates, and the 2.0mm with the 1.6mm plates.
Absolutely, we provide ISO 13485 certification docs and material certificates for the Ti-6Al-4V ELI on request, including mill test reports. Just let us know when you place the order, and we'll include them in the shipment.
We offer straight plates for shaft fractures, T-plates for joint areas like the proximal tibia, L-plates for metaphyseal fractures, and reconstruction plates for irregular bones like the pelvis. Each type comes in both 1.1mm and 1.6mm thicknesses.
Yes, each plate comes in individual sterile packaging, gamma sterilized, so you can open it directly in the OR. No need to autoclave or reprocess before use.
