Cuttable Maleable Plate

Vi now offers a comprehensive range of Cuttable Plates. They are available either as a standard strip of round holes or as a version with notches between the holes for easy contouring. These are described as Cuttable Malleable or Cuttable Reconstruction Plates.
Using Standard Wire Cutters 001236, 001237, 001228 or 001230 a strip with the desired number of holes can be cut from the length. With care the plate can be cut between holes, although it is easier to cut across a hole. Cuttable Plates may be stacked to double the strength along all or part of the construct.
Plates are available in 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.4, 2.7 and 3.5mm. Hole spacing is smaller than the equivalent DCP which may be useful where bone fragments are small. The smaller sizes are particularly useful in the repair of metacarpals and metatarsals.
