Large Fragment Safety Lock Plates Set – 4.5/5.0mm Locking Plate System

Large Fragment Safety Lock Plates Set, SKU PS-OP-1849, is a reusable orthopedic implant plate system manufactured from stainless steel and configured for large-fragment fracture fixation using 4.5/5.0mm safety-lock screw interfaces. The set contains Narrow LC-DCP Safety Lock Plates in 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12-hole configurations; T Buttress Safety Lock Plates in 3 and 4-hole configurations; Safety Lock T Plates in 4, 5 and 6-hole configurations; left and right L Buttress Safety Lock Plates in 4, 5 and 6-hole configurations; and Reconstruction Safety Lock Plates in 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12-hole configurations, together with a dedicated empty container. The range supports orthopedic trauma surgeons selecting plate geometry and length according to fracture location, reduction strategy and required fixation span. Narrow LC-DCP plates provide longitudinal shaft fixation, buttress configurations support metaphyseal fracture management, T plates address transverse and periarticular regions, L buttress plates provide left- or right-sided support, and reconstruction plates permit contouring around anatomically complex bone surfaces. The set is suited to trauma hospitals, orthopedic operating rooms, fracture-fixation centers and medical distributors requiring a broad 4.5/5.0mm safety-lock plate inventory.

Locking Interface and Plate Geometry

The safety-lock plate architecture combines a contoured stainless-steel plate body with screw holes designed for compatible 4.5/5.0mm safety-lock fixation. The locking interface maintains a fixed angular relationship between the compatible screw and plate hole, allowing the construct to function without requiring the screw to achieve its stability solely through compression of the plate against bone. The Narrow LC-DCP geometry provides a relatively slender longitudinal profile with plate-hole spacing intended for diaphyseal and shaft fixation. T Buttress and Safety Lock T Plates use a transverse head configuration to address fracture regions requiring a broader proximal or metaphyseal footprint. The L Buttress pattern provides an offset lateral geometry and is supplied separately for left and right orientation, allowing the surgeon to select the side-specific plate shape. Reconstruction Safety Lock Plates use a more adaptable longitudinal configuration intended for contouring around complex skeletal anatomy. Hole count directly changes the available fixation span and the number of compatible screw positions along the plate. The 4.5/5.0 designation corresponds to the large-fragment safety-lock screw family associated with the plates. The dedicated container keeps the different geometries and lengths separated for implant inventory control and operating-room preparation.

Fracture Fixation and Plate Selection Workflow

The set supports open reduction and internal fixation where a compatible 4.5/5.0mm safety-lock plate is selected according to fracture morphology and anatomical location. Narrow LC-DCP plates are appropriate for long-bone shaft constructs where a longitudinal plate profile and multiple fixation positions are required. The 6-hole through 12-hole range allows the operating team to select a shorter or longer plate according to the fracture zone and desired fixation span. T Buttress plates provide a compact buttress geometry for metaphyseal regions, with 3- and 4-hole versions offering different available fixation lengths. Safety Lock T Plates in 4, 5 and 6-hole configurations provide another transverse-head geometry for fracture patterns requiring a T-shaped plate profile. Left and right L Buttress plates are selected according to the operated side and the required buttress orientation. Reconstruction plates provide 6- through 12-hole options where plate contouring around complex bone geometry is required. During fixation, the selected plate is positioned after fracture reduction, compatible safety-lock screws are inserted through the plate holes, and screw length and trajectory are established according to the corresponding implant system and surgical technique. The empty container maintains organized separation of the complete plate inventory.

Plate Configurations and Hole-Length Selection

The Narrow LC-DCP group contains seven lengths: 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 holes, providing a progressive range for shaft and long-bone fixation. The T Buttress group contains 3- and 4-hole plates, offering shorter constructs for localized buttress support. The Safety Lock T group contains 4-, 5- and 6-hole plates for transverse-head fixation with increasing longitudinal coverage. The L Buttress family is divided by laterality, with left 4-, 5- and 6-hole plates and right 4-, 5- and 6-hole plates. This side-specific configuration is important because the plate's buttress geometry is not interchangeable between left and right anatomy. The Reconstruction Safety Lock family contains 6-, 7-, 8-, 9-, 10-, 11- and 12-hole plates and provides the broadest range of longitudinal coverage within the set. Each plate is identified by an individual model code, allowing procurement teams and operating-room staff to distinguish geometry, laterality and hole count. Selection is based on fracture location, required fixation length, plate contour, bone surface and the compatible 4.5/5.0mm safety-lock screw system. The complete range allows the surgeon to choose between narrow shaft plates, buttress geometries, T configurations and reconstruction profiles within one organized inventory.

Stainless Steel Construction, Sterilization and Procurement

The Large Fragment Safety Lock Plates Set uses stainless steel plate construction for the listed orthopedic fixation components and is supplied as a reusable implant inventory system for professional orthopedic surgery. The metal plate surfaces are designed for controlled handling, cleaning and sterilization before use in accordance with the applicable implant manufacturer's instructions and healthcare-facility protocol. Because these components are implant plates rather than reusable surgical instruments, sterilization and packaging requirements must follow the validated processing instructions applicable to the specific implant system. Steam sterilization may be used when explicitly permitted by the applicable manufacturer instructions and validated hospital cycle. Peak Surgicals supports medical-device procurement through CE marking, ISO 13485 quality-management certification and FDA-compliant procurement support for applicable healthcare markets. The current product page lists the complete set at $1,084.59 USD and provides three product images. The set contains 25 stainless-steel safety-lock plates covering multiple geometries, hole counts and left/right configurations, plus one empty container. It is intended for orthopedic trauma departments, hospitals, clinics and medical distributors managing large-fragment plate inventory for fracture-fixation procedures.

Large Fragment Safety Lock Plates Set

Details of Large Fragment Safety Lock Plates Set is Given Below.

How does the Large Fragment Safety Lock Plates Set differ from a conventional LC-DCP plate set?
The Large Fragment Safety Lock Plates Set combines conventional large-fragment plate geometries with safety-locking fixation interfaces. The Narrow LC-DCP plates provide longitudinal shaft coverage in seven hole lengths. T Buttress and T plates provide transverse-head geometries for selected metaphyseal and periarticular fracture patterns. L Buttress plates are supplied in left and right configurations for side-specific anatomy. Reconstruction plates provide a broader contouring option for complex bone surfaces. A conventional LC-DCP inventory may not include the same range of locking buttress and reconstruction geometries.

How should the 3–12 hole plate options be selected?
Hole count primarily determines the available longitudinal fixation span. Six- and seven-hole plates provide shorter constructs, while 10-, 11- and 12-hole versions provide greater plate length. The 3- and 4-hole T Buttress plates are intended for shorter buttress configurations. L Buttress plates are selected in 4-, 5- or 6-hole lengths according to the required construct. Reconstruction plates range from 6 through 12 holes for progressively longer fixation zones. The surgeon selects the geometry and length according to fracture location, reduction strategy, bone surface and required fixation span.

What do CE, ISO 13485 and FDA procurement support mean for this plate set?
The Large Fragment Safety Lock Plates Set is supplied within Peak Surgicals' medical-device quality and procurement framework. CE marking addresses applicable European conformity requirements. ISO 13485 relates to the manufacturer's medical-device quality-management system. FDA-compliant procurement support is relevant to applicable US healthcare purchasing workflows. Hospitals and distributors can use the available regulatory documentation during supplier qualification and purchasing review. Destination-market requirements remain applicable to the procurement and clinical use of implantable orthopedic devices.

How does the safety-lock interface function during fracture fixation?
The safety-lock plate hole is designed to accept its compatible locking screw while controlling the screw-to-plate angular relationship. The screw engages the plate rather than relying solely on compression of the plate against the bone. This creates a fixed-angle relationship within the compatible implant system. The plate geometry then determines how the construct distributes fixation along the selected bone segment. T and L buttress configurations use their shaped heads to support specific fracture regions. The surgeon selects the plate and compatible screw combination according to the implant system's surgical technique.

How should hospitals manage sterilization and procurement of this set?
The Large Fragment Safety Lock Plates Set contains implant plates rather than reusable surgical instruments. Individual plates should remain packaged and protected according to the applicable implant manufacturer's validated instructions until required for surgery. Sterilization should follow the validated processing method specified for the implant system and the hospital's sterile-processing protocol. The empty container provides organized inventory storage but does not itself determine implant sterilization requirements. Hospitals and distributors can procure the complete 25-plate configuration as one set. The set is intended for orthopedic trauma inventory management across multiple large-fragment plate geometries and lengths.
