VA-LCP^® Clavicle Plate 2.7 System

The VA-LCP^® Clavicle Plate 2.7 System is designed based on an analysis of more than 600 clavicle CT scans from a broad based population to enhance plate-to-bone fit on a broad range of patients.¹ Plate shapes based on the correlation between patient height and clavicle size.^1,14

Features & Benefits

Designed to go unnoticed^3-5,8

The result of extensive research, the system addresses anatomic variability of the clavicle^1,13

Charts showing the reduced prominence of the 2.7 mm VA LCP® Clavicle Shaft and Lateral Plates compared to Acumed and Stryker.

Mapping clavicle variation, advancing anatomical fit^1,14

Design based on analysis of >600 clavicle CT scans^1,14
Re-engineered clavicle system with thinner plate profile^**,3-5,8
Shaped for greater plate-to-bone conformity^{***,3-5,7,8,13}

2.7 mm VA LCP® Clavicle Plate designed to go unnoticed on a patient

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 prominece^10-12
VA technology gives surgeons the flexibility to position screws based on patient anatomy and fracture location, not plate design^10-12
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
