4.5mm Universal Proximal Femoral Plate

EgiFix Medical Locking and Compression Plates System

EgiFix Medical offers a comprehensive system of locking and compression plates for various bone fractures, available in stainless steel 316 LVM and Titanium Grade 5 Eli.

Plate Design Features

• Uniform Hole Spacing: Ensures consistent placement.
• AO Plating Technique: Adheres to orthopedic standards.
• Low Contact: Preserves blood supply.
• Tapered Ends: Facilitates easy insertion.

EGI-LOC™ Features

The EGI-LOC™ Periarticular Locked Plating System combines locked and non-locked screws, providing:

• Screw Angulation: 80° longitudinal and 14° transverse.
• Compression and Neutral Screw Positions: Supports minimal invasive techniques.
• Stability: Resists angular collapse and aids fracture reduction.

Locking Screw Design Features

• Conical Head: Enhances alignment in threaded holes.
• Large Core Diameter: Improves strength and load distribution.
• Shallow Thread Profile: Allows stability without relying solely on threads.
• Hexagonal Head: Ensures strong alignment with screwdrivers.
• Self-Tapping: Easy insertion.

Compression Screw Design Features

• ISO Standard 5835: Ensures quality and compatibility.
• Hemispherical Countersink: Improves angulation and contact.
• Hexagonal Head: Provides strong alignment.
• Self-Tapping: Facilitates ease of use.

AO Principles

• Anatomic Reduction: Ensures precise screw placement.
• Stable Fixation: Locking screws provide angular stability.
• Preservation of Blood Supply: Tapered ends and limited contact reduce vascular trauma.

Proximal Femur Plate Design Features

1. Threaded Holes: Seven holes for 6.5mm locking cancellous screws.
2. Anatomical Contouring: Fits the lateral aspect of the proximal femur.
3. Bilateral Design: Left and right options accommodate femoral neck antiversion.
4. Length Variability: Available lengths span the diaphysis for segmental fractures.
5. Angular Stability: Locking screws provide stability regardless of bone quality.
6. Load-Sharing: Tensionable plates enhance load distribution.
7. Versatile Adaptation: Screws allow various angulations for different fracture patterns.
