2.0 mm Mandible Locking Plate System
The 2.0 mm Mandible Locking Plate is the standard plating system for mandible trauma and reconstruction.
Double Angle Plates
They are provided in two thicknesses, large (1.5 mm) and extra (2.0 mm). Specific Bending Templates for the Double Angle Plates are available. The plates are designed for reconstruction and trauma cases which need a both sided fixation. Bending and adaption will be easier due to the anatomical preforming.
Bending Templates
The Bending Template for the Mandible Locking Plate 2.0 helps contouring of the plate. The templates are manufactured out of AL1100FN1 which is an aluminium alloy well suited for this application due to its strength and ductility.
Swivel-Fixed Screwdriver
The Swivel-Fixed Screwdriver is designed for the manual insertion and placement of 2.0 mm, 2.4 mm and 3.0 mm maxillofacial screws used in maxillofacial surgery. The ergonomic screwdriver handle has a single assembly design which makes it easy to use, and is available in one size. It provides for two operating positions swivel (rotating) and fixed (locked). The screwdriver accepts all maxillofacial hex coupling blades/ taps.
