The newly extended Supracondylar Combi Plate is designed for both fracture repair and osteotomy procedures in feline patients. The plate design features 2.0mm holes and incorporates several anatomical and functional enhancements for optimal performance.
The locking holes in the head are specifically angled to avoid the joint and prevent screw impingement, while the curved distal profile is shaped to match the lateral femoral condyle, based on feline femoral CT scans.
Drawing on the design principles of the existing Supracondylar range, the plate features a combination of DLP and locking holes instead of the traditional DCP and round holes. In this extended design, the plate is now 81mm up from 53mm, with 4 additional DLP holes added to the shaft.
Additional features include a slipper tip for easy application, reduced distal thickness to minimise plate interference with soft tissue, a 1.2 mm K-wire hole for precise placement with a 1.1 mm K-wire, and hole spacing aligned with that of comparable DLP plates.
