PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Intended Use

The DVR Anatomic Plate is indicated for the volar fixation of distal radius fractures unstable in either dorsal or volar direction and for the fixation of osteotomies.

Product Feature

1.Unique peg distribution

• The two rows of pegs provide a three dimensional surface to support the subchondral bone.

• The unique fan shaped distribution of the pegs in the proximal row supports the dorsal aspect of the subchondral bone, preventing displacement of dorsal fractures.

• The distal row provides support to the central and volar aspect of the subchondral bone, stabilising central articular and volar marginal fragments.

2.Anatomical Plate Design

• The “watershed line” is the natural landmark for most distal plate positioning without tendon irritation.

• The DVR Anatomic Plate is anatomically contoured to match the watershed line and the topographic surface of the distal volar radius without causing tendon complications.

• Once the plate is applied to the volar cortex it can be used as a template to facilitate reduction of dorsally displaced fractures

3.Smooth Locking Pegs and Screws

class="pinfotitle22"• Locking pegs facilitate the creation of a scaffold that supports the reduction of the fracture and provide a strong peg to plate interface.

• The blunt tip is forgiving and prevents extensor tendon damage in case of dorsal protrusion. Partially threaded pegs help capture dorsal comminuted fragments.

• Multidirectional pegs, with a cone of 20 degree angulation and threaded locking pegs are also available to allow maximum interoperative flexibility.
