Vilex offers a broad array of bone plates for hand and foot arthrodesis. The packaging is designed to accommodate trauma surgeons faced with unpredictable situations. However, most plate shapes can be identified with specific surgical procedures.
All locking plates are designed to accept both locking and non-locking screws,
cannulated or solid, as applicable. Plates are pre-bent to meet surgical requirements.
All trays come with all necessary instrumentation including: joint reamers, plate
benders, centering tools, guide wires, stabilization pins, depth gauges, and more.
The Trauma Plate Tray is an ever-expanding system with numerous
options. Vilex is continually adding shapes to meet specific needs.
Users are advised to check with Vilex periodically and consult the
monthly news letter for additions in plates
and instrumentation.
Why Choose the Vilex Plate System
The Vilex Plate System allows the surgeon many choices. There is not just one tray for a specific procedure. Normally, Vilex customizes a plate tray to meet the surgeon’s preferences. In addition, Vilex adds new designs and shapes continuously and often offers experimental plates to meet specific needs. Some design features are unique to Vilex.
The locking plates accept both locking and non-locking screws in the same hole. In addition, in case a hole is stripped or damaged during a procedure, the surgeon has access to a larger diameter screw with the same head as its smaller counterpart.
The inclusion of cannulated locking and non-locking screws enable the surgeon to center the screw precisely within the plate hole, seating all screws flush with the plate. Each plate possesses two small holes that accept 1.1 mm (0.045”) k-wires or stabilization pins for holding the plate against the bone while inserting the screws. In addition, the Vilex Dual-Thread Screws and F-series are compatible with most locking plates. Vilex Dual Thread Screws and F series Screws are one in the same.
