Features & Benefits
The Contours VPS offers contoured plates precisely designed to fit variable surfaces, based on open anatomical dissection and extensive cadaveric studies at the Hamann-Todd Osteological Collection. With the Contours VPS, the fixed angle locking screws allow maximum purchase in subchondral bone while minimizing tissue irritation.
The new, third-generation Contours VPS-3 enhancements are numerous and include:
- An extensive selection of plate widths and lengths designed to fit the anatomy encountered in the operating room
- Metaphyseal locking screws (optional) when additional plate fixation within this region is desired
- Supplementary instrumentation (retractors, bone holders, ratcheting handles) to aid in exposure, reduction and acceleration of operative time
Physician Benefits
- Contoured plate precisely designed to fit variable surfaces
- Two rows of fixed angle locking screws isdesigned to increase interface strength for subchondral support
- Precise screw angles for optimal support for the radial styloid, dorsal and mid-third articulating surface
- Converging screws designed to provide superior support
- Standard plate length and long plate length for shaft fractures
- Bending crease in plate to adjust angle of the radial styloid screw
- Color-coded plates
- Low profile locking screws designed to minimize tissue irritation
- Microthreaded screws designed to provide bone fixation superior to a smooth peg design and to minimize the potential for shattering
- Unique screw housing for maintaining appropriate length within tray
Patient Benefits
- Designed to minimize postoperative tendon irritation and provide early range of motion
