Description
The PAX polyaxial locking system is a comprehensive anatomical bone plating set consisting of 1.5, 2.0, 2.4, 2.7, and 3.5mm titanium plates with polyaxial locking screws.
Characteristics and advantages:
| Feature |
Explanation
|
Benefit |
|
Polyaxial locking screws |
Angularly stable screw-plate locking system offers polyaxial insertion |
Screws can be angled to avoid joint spaces, anatomic structures and ancillary implants. |
|
Titanium and titanium alloy implants |
Offer supreme biocompatibility. |
Minimal tissue reaction with potentially lower incidence of infection*. |
|
Novel locking system |
Conical screw head cuts threads in the plate during insertion; reliable for repeated insertions. |
Locking system does not require bone/plate interface compression minimizing damage to the blood supply and periosteum, enhancing healing. |
|
Multiple plate geometries |
Trauma, Lengthening, Reconstruction, “T”, “L”, Contoured TPLO, A-A Luxation, DPO, TPO, and CCWO plates. |
One versatile system handles most orthopedic trauma and reconstruction surgical procedures. |
|
Compression/ locking plates |
One system allows for locking or compression plating. |
Greater intraoperative versatility. |
|
Limited contact footprint |
Minimizes damage to the vascular elements and periosteum. |
Improved healing. |
|
Taper tip |
Reduces surgical exposure when using straight plates. |
Minimizes tissue trauma during sub-muscular plate insertion (MIPO). |
|
Interchangeable screw diameters |
Multiple screw diameters can be used in the same plate conforming to individual bony anatomy. |
Versatility and flexibility of construct allows maximum anatomical reconstruction. |
- The set is available in different sizes :
- 1.2mm
- 1.5mm
- 2.0 / 2.4mm
- 2.7mm
- 2.7 / 3.5mm
