Overview and Indications
Overview
The Anterior Staple Plates
– work with any monoaxial screw system,
– provide increased rotational stability,
– provide increased correctional strength and
– facilitate screw placement.
The Anterior Staple Plates are made of Titanium Alloy (TAN)
and are available in three different sizes:
For use with ⭋ 5.2 mm
screw or smaller.

Plate length: 21 mm
For use with ⭋ 6.2 mm
screw or smaller.
Plate width: 16.5 mm
Plate length: 23 mm
For use with ⭋ 7.0 mm
screw or smaller.
Plate width: 18 mm
Plate length: 25 mm
Each staple plate size is available with three different hole
configurations:
Orientation of holes:
Parallel
Orientation of holes:
