We've been shiping these mini locking plate sets to ortho vets for a while now, and most who pick this up are doing fracture repairs on cats, small dogs, or rabbits—it's basically built for bones where standerd human implants are just too bulky.
The 1.1mm and 1.6mm plates (anodized titanium, so no reaction issues) use a locking head design that gives you angular stability without relying on bone compression, which is actually a game-changer for osteoporotic or comminuted fractures where screw purchase is iffy.
Each kit comes with the Torx drivers, the 0.8mm to 3.2mm drill bits, and a depth gauge (30mm or 50mm)—basically everything except the sterilization cycle, since these ship non-sterile (usually 20 days or so on lead time, but check stock).
We've got CE and ISO 13485 certs, but what that means on the ground is every batch comes with an HPLC and mechancial test report, and tolerances are tighter than what you'd get form a generic machining shop—I've seen some knockoffs chatter mid-drill, ours don't.
One thing we don't recommend is using teh 1.1mm locking screws in weight-bearing long bones over 5kg body weight—the 1.6mm cortical works better there, and most buyers go with the 1.6mm plates for femurs anyway.
Anyway, if you want a price for a full instrument set plus a mix of T-plates and straights, I can get you a quote by Tuesday—just let me know the quantities you're roughing out.
Yes, they're designed to work with AO/ASIF-compatible instruments, so you should be fine using your existing drill guides and depth gauges.
We typically require a minimum order of 10 units per plate type and 50 screws per size, but we can discuss smaller quantities for first-time buyers.
Absolutely, we provide copies of both the CE certificate and ISO 13485 certification with every shipment.
You can autoclave them following standard hospital protocols—they're built to handle steam sterilization without degrading the titanium or surface finish.
We do, just send us your design specs or implant requirements, and we can CNC machine custom plates with your preferred hole patterns.
