Inion OTPS^TM Distal Radius Plate - Benefits

Given the choice between metal and biodegradable devices for stabilisation of distal radius fractures, patients would almost allways opt for biodegradables - as seen in a recent paper in the journal Injury¹.

• Easy anatomical contouring: The plate profile is supplied allready adapted to the bone geometry. However, if additional contouring is needed, it can be easily done by activating any part of the plate at Inion Thermo+ water bath (+70 C) for 1 minute.

• Second surgery is not required for implant removal - reducing
  patient trauma and cost

• Implants supplied sterile

• Optimized implant strength/material ratio

• Screws can be adjusted freele +/- 10 degrees for optimal
  positioning
  

• Protected screw back-out: The screws interlock with the plate through
  a special screw head design and material properties

• The material allows drilling of extra holes for screws or K-wires.
