About Total Wrist Fusion Plating System
The Total Wrist Fusion Plating System, fuses the carpal bones together to treat post-traumatic arthritis. Designed to reduce the risk of soft tissue irritation associated with traditional wrist fusion plates. The only system currently on the market to offer plates specifically designed to be placed on both the second and third metacarpals.
Provided in two sizes, the plates come as left-right specific and neutral, to accommodate varying patient anatomies. All plates have a 15° dorsal bend, established as a balance between anatomic resting position, hand function, and grip strength.
To enhance the operating room experience, this system includes Hexalobe MultiScrews and the SaveLock Compression Sleeve. The Hexalobe MultiScrews act as nonlocking screws when inserted into the unthreaded slots and locking screws when inserted into threaded holes. The SaveLock Compression Sleeve engages with the screw head, reducing the plate to the bone by preventing the screw from locking into the plate until the SaveLock Compression Sleeve is disengaged.
