Features & Benefits
Designed to go unnoticed3-5,8
The result of extensive research, the system addresses anatomic variability of the clavicle1,13

Mapping clavicle variation, advancing anatomical fit1,14
- Design based on analysis of >600 clavicle CT scans1,14
- Re-engineered clavicle system with thinner plate profile**,3-5,8
- Shaped for greater plate-to-bone conformity***,3-5,7,8,13

Reduced prominence, comparable strength^
- Higher construct static strength compared to DePuy Synthes 3.5mm LCP® Superior Clavicle Plates
- Equivalent construct fatigue strength compared to DePuy Synthes 3.5mm LCP Superior Clavicle Plates
- Every screw hole accepts 2.7 mm VA locking screws and low-profile metaphyseal screws that sit flush with the plate for low construct prominece10-12
- VA technology gives surgeons the flexibility to position screws based on patient anatomy and fracture location, not plate design10-12
- Staggered screw hole positioning increases screw density compared to a plate of the same length with in-line screw holes6

Simplified plate selection based on correlation between patient height and clavicle size****7
- Smaller clavicle has a more acute bow and curve than larger clavicle13
- Plates designed for small, medium, and large stature patients
