The system supports hand surgeons and orthopedic trauma surgeons performing open reduction and internal fixation of metacarpal and phalangeal fractures, corrective osteotomy, plate contouring and small-fragment fixation in orthopedic trauma hospitals, hand surgery units and ambulatory operating rooms.

Small-Fragment Instrument Geometry and Screw Preparation

The set is organized around the controlled preparation and fixation sequence used for small-bone plate osteosynthesis. K-wires and position pins provide temporary stabilization, plate positioning and alignment before definitive screw fixation. The Ø1.1mm and Ø2.0mm drill bits are supplied in AO and Mini Coupling configurations to match compatible handpiece interfaces and drilling requirements. Dedicated Ø1.1mm and Ø2.0mm drill sleeves guide the bit and establish a controlled drilling axis through the plate or prepared bone corridor. The T6 Stardrive screwdriver shafts engage compatible T6 screw heads for insertion and tightening. The countersinks prepare the cortical entry region where countersinking is required by the screw system. The Mini AO quick-coupling handle transfers manual rotational control to compatible shafts while maintaining a compact profile suitable for hand instrumentation. Reduction forceps, pointed reduction forceps and the 1.1/2.0mm bone forceps provide controlled fragment manipulation before plate fixation. The bending pliers allow adjustment of compatible plate contours where intraoperative shaping is required. The osteotomy cutting guide establishes a defined reference for corrective bone cuts, while the retractors and flat double periosteal elevator maintain exposure around the operative field.

Metacarpal and Phalangeal Fracture Fixation Workflow

The instrumentation supports open reduction and internal fixation of metacarpal and phalangeal fractures through a sequence of exposure, reduction, temporary stabilization, drilling, measurement and definitive screw insertion. Following exposure, the 6.5mm retractors and flat double periosteal elevator assist with maintaining access to the metacarpal or phalangeal shaft while limiting unnecessary soft-tissue obstruction. The appropriate reduction forceps or pointed reduction forceps are used to restore fragment position before provisional K-wire fixation. Ø1.0mm, Ø1.2mm and Ø1.6mm K-wires provide selectable temporary fixation according to the small-bone fixation workflow, while threaded versions can provide controlled purchase during positioning. The plate holder maintains the selected plate against the bone during drilling and screw placement. The metacarpal depth gauge is used when measuring screw length in metacarpal fixation, while the phalangeal depth gauge provides the corresponding measurement for phalangeal fixation. After drilling through the appropriate sleeve, the T6 Stardrive shaft engages compatible screws for controlled insertion. In corrective hand surgery, the osteotomy cutting guide establishes the planned cut reference, with bending pliers supporting compatible plate contour adjustment before fixation.

Hand System Instrument Set For Metacarpal & Phalanges Plates

Details of Hand System Instrument Set For Metacarpal & Phalanges Plates is Given Below.

Product Specification

How does this metacarpal and phalangeal instrument set differ from a standard small-fragment orthopedic set?

The Hand System Instrument Set For Metacarpal & Phalanges Plates is configured specifically around small-bone hand fixation. It includes dedicated metacarpal and phalangeal depth gauges rather than relying only on a general-purpose depth gauge. It also provides Ø1.1mm and Ø2.0mm drill preparation with both AO and Mini Coupling configurations. The set includes Ø1.0mm, Ø1.2mm and Ø1.6mm K-wires for provisional fixation of small bone fragments. Separate metacarpal and phalangeal implant cases organize the instrumentation according to the intended hand fixation workflow. A standard small-fragment set may contain larger drilling and fixation instruments without these dedicated hand-specific components.

How are the Ø1.0mm, Ø1.2mm and Ø1.6mm K-wires selected?
The Ø1.0mm, Ø1.2mm and Ø1.6mm K-wires provide different diameters for provisional fixation and positioning of metacarpal or phalangeal fragments. Smaller Ø1.0mm wires are suited to delicate provisional positioning where a fine wire profile is required. Ø1.2mm and Ø1.6mm wires provide progressively greater wire diameter for fixation demands requiring increased stiffness. The threaded versions provide an alternative for controlled purchase during positioning. Selection depends on bone size, fracture configuration, plate position and the surgeon's fixation technique. The same diameter range can therefore support different stages of hand fracture reduction.

Are CE, ISO 13485 and FDA procurement requirements supported for this set?
The Hand System Instrument Set For Metacarpal & Phalanges Plates is supplied through Peak Surgicals' medical-device quality and procurement framework. CE marking supports applicable European conformity requirements. ISO 13485 relates to the manufacturer's medical-device quality management system. FDA-compliant procurement support is relevant to purchasing workflows for applicable US healthcare markets. Hospitals and distributors can use the available regulatory documentation during supplier qualification and purchasing review. Product-specific regulatory records should be maintained with the procurement documentation for the institution or distribution channel.

How are the drill sleeves, quick-coupling handle and T6 screwdriver shafts used intraoperatively?
The drill sleeves establish a controlled pathway for the Ø1.1mm or Ø2.0mm drill bits during plate preparation. The Mini AO quick-coupling handle accepts compatible shafts and provides manual control for instrumentation designed around that coupling interface. The T6 Stardrive screwdriver shafts engage compatible T6 screw heads during definitive fixation. Their shaft geometry transfers rotational force from the handle to the screw while maintaining access to the operative field. The countersink can prepare the screw entry region when the compatible fixation system requires it. Together, these components support the transition from plate positioning and drilling to controlled screw insertion.

Is this instrument set suitable for hospital sterilization and operating-room supply?
The Hand System Instrument Set For Metacarpal & Phalanges Plates is configured as reusable orthopedic instrumentation for professional clinical use. Components should undergo cleaning, inspection, drying, packaging and validated sterilization according to the healthcare facility's established reprocessing procedure and applicable manufacturer instructions. Steam autoclaving is used for compatible reusable stainless steel instruments under an appropriate validated cycle. The cleaning hook assists with removal of debris from suitable instrument areas during reprocessing. The metacarpal and phalangeal implant cases provide organized storage for the corresponding instrumentation. The listed MOQ is one complete set, making the configuration suitable for hospital, clinic and distributor procurement.
