The VariAx 2 Clavicle Plating System provides surgeons with a comprehensive range of antomic plating options that work with a common instrument and screw platform. Plates utilize SmartLock Technology which permits polyaxial screw placement. You can angle locking screws up to 15° in each direction for a total range of 30° providing you with the flexibility to position screws based on the patient’s needs, not on the plate’s pre-existing design.
Product specifications
The VariAx 2 Clavicle System offers a range of midshaft and lateral plates which are anatomically contoured to the superior or anterior surface of the bone. Additionally, the surgeon has a choice of different plate curvatures designed to fit various anatomies. Finally, these plates accept either 3.5mm or 2.7mm non-locking or locking screws. Only non-locking screws may be placead in the oblong holes of the plate. Circular holes accept either locking or non-locking screws.
Superior Plating Options
Midshaft
- A. Increased and decreased curvature to accommodate different medial to lateral curvatures
- B. The Bridge Plates are designed with suture holes which may be used to help reduce and hold comminuted fracture fragments
Lateral
- A. The superior lateral clavicle plate offers an optional fixed-angle aiming block which may be used to help guide the surgeon in placing screws in a reproducible divergent screw pattern.
Hook
- A. The hook is anatomically pre-contoured to fit the inferior aspect of the acromion.
