Rib fractures, especially complicated or multiple fractures require stabilization to ensure healing is complete to restore normal functionality. Rib plates are special implants made to help stabilize rib fractures to reduce pain and aid in healing. Made of high-end titanium they offer strength and biocompatibility as well as accuracy, which makes them a popular choice for surgeons who specialize in thoracic surgery.
Rib plates are small, light devices that help fix and align fractured rib bone. They are particularly helpful for patients suffering from flail chest or displaced fractures where healing has been compromised. These plates are surgically bonded to the rib bones with screws. They provide the needed support needed for the ribs in order to heal in the proper anatomical position.
Here are the different kinds of rib plates that are available according to the size and number of holes:
Number of Holes | Size (mm) | Code (Titanium) |
---|---|---|
4 | 45 | PS-195.4-45 |
5 | 30 | PS-195.5-30 |
5 | 45 | PS-195.5-45 |
5 | 55 | PS-195.5-55 |
6 | 30 | PS-195.6-30 |
6 | 45 | PS-195.6-45 |
6 | 55 | PS-195.6-55 |
They are available in a range of sizes that can be adapted to various types of fractures and anatomies and allow surgeons to choose the appropriate size plate for their particular procedure.
Titanium is the preferred material preferred for rib plates due its excellent biocompatibility and durability to corrosion. It is lightweight but durable which means that the plates can provide sufficient support without adding weight to the rib cage.
Each plate is meticulously made to fit the natural curvature and shape of the ribs, which ensures the most secure fit while also reduces the risk of problems like plate movement or irritation to tissues around it.
With options that range between 4 and 6 holes and in sizes of 30mm to 55mm surgeons are able to treat a variety of rib fractures as well as Thoracic injuries.
The numerous holes permit precise screw placement, which ensures that the plates stay securely fixed to the rib bone as they heal.
Rib plates are often employed in:
Rib plates are a crucial instrument for surgeons who treat injuries to the chest wall. Their precise design, long-lasting titanium construction and flexibility help in restoring thoracic stability as well as improving the outcomes of patients. The wide range of sizes and designs available means that surgeons can adapt treatments to the particular requirements of each patient. Through Peak Surgicals you can be confident in the quality and dependability of rib plates that are designed to provide the highest standard of the latest surgical techniques.
