Biodegradable Zinc Alloy Osteosynthesis Plate

Osteosynthesis Plate

The Biodegradable Zinc Alloy Osteosynthesis Plate provides an advanced solution for surgeons requiring temporary internal fixation without the long-term presence of permanent metal. These plates offer the high mechanical strength of a metallic alloy while ensuring the implant is gradually absorbed by the body as natural bone healing progresses.

Key Clinical Features

  • Metallic Strength with Bio-Absorption: Zinc alloys provide significantly higher tensile strength and stiffness than biodegradable polymers, ensuring robust stabilization during the initial stages of healing.
  • Comprehensive Plate Geometries: As shown in the Biodegradable Zinc Alloy Osteosynthesis Plate.png, the system includes T-plates, L-plates, Y-plates, and straight plates to accommodate diverse anatomical requirements.
  • Bio-Logic Degradation: The plate is engineered to degrade at a controlled rate, allowing for a gradual load transfer to the bone, which helps prevent stress-shielding and promotes stronger bone formation.
  • Minimized Soft Tissue Irritation: The ultra-low profile of these miniature plates is ideal for areas with thin soft tissue coverage, such as the hands, feet, or face.
  • Elimination of Removal Surgery: Once the bone has reached union, the implant is safely metabolized by the body, removing the clinical and financial burden of hardware removal procedures.
