1.0mm Plate and Screw Kit
1.0mm Plating System
- Multiple Metacarpal
Fractures
Mark Bush of Dick White Referrals was recently
presented with a case involving multiple metacarpal
bone fracture in a 1.7kg Chihuahua.
Management of fractures in dogs such as the Papillon
and Chihuahua weighing less than a kilo is very
challenging. Even 1.5mm and 2.0mm screws are too
large. Metacarpals in even some medium size patients
require very small implants.
To deal with fractures in tiny bones we have introduced
our exclusive range of 1.0mm implants and
equipment.
The range includes T-plates, compression plates
and 5 different cuttable strips. Due to the small size,
dedicated instrumentation is required.
The 1.0mm Plate and Screw Kit includes all the
1.0mm Instrumentation and a complete range of
Implants.

£2,950.00
Operating on such tiny, delicate bones, Mark chose
to repair the fractures with our 1.0mm Plating System,
specifically using a 1.0mm Cuttable Plate from the
range.
Mark reported that the fracture healed uneventfully
and the dog returned to normal limb use.

Referrals
The Veterinary Instrumentation range of Cuttable
1.0mm Plates gives flexibility for new management
options for a number of different fracture scenarios.
All of our Cuttable Plates have round holes. The
range is suited to fractures of the small bones of the
pes and manus, such as the metacarpal bones, as
well as other fine bones such as the ulna and fibula.
They should also find a home in the management of
long bone fractures on very small animals as well as
jaw and pelvic repairs where space is at a premium.

Our Technical Director
& Orthopaedic
Surgeon David Strong
and our Consultant
Gareth Arthurs will be
demonstrating Locking
Plates & Screws and
offering technical advice
during the congress.
Standard DCP or Round Hole Plates are held into
position by being trapped between the head of the
screw and the bone. Tightening the screw pulls the
bone up to the plate. When the screw is tight the
threads of the screw pull against the bone holding the
plate in position.
The situation with locking screws and plates is very
different.
Although the threads of the screw shaft engage the
bone, the interface between bone and screw is not
related to attachment of the plate. In locking plates
and screws it is the interface between the screw head
and the plate which attaches the plate to the screw.
As the screw is tightened the bone maintains its
position relative to the plate, it is not drawn up to it.
The screw head engages with the plate.

advice and demonstrations.

VI Black Series Battery Powered Drill/ Saw Set
The VI Black Series Drill/ Saw Set have a robust steel
construct, with German motors and adjustable speed
triggers, making them much smoother, quieter and more
reliable than many other models.
The VI Black Series Range is fully autoclavable at
134 ˚C (NOT batteries) and is small enough to fit inside
larger autoclave bags or our specially designed VI Black
Series Autoclave Cases.
Based on hand surgery power tools, these are smaller
than the standard human surgery power tools used for
more general orthopaedics and are well suited to our
patients. Their size also makes them ideal for travelling
surgeons and for other situations where space is at a
premium.
The VI Black Series Drill/ Saw Set contains:
• VI Black Series Drill.
• VI Black Series Saw.
• 2 x Battery Chargers.
• 2 x Batteries.
• 2 x Battery Transfer Sleeves.
• Supplied in Aluminium Storage Cases.

TTA Rapid NEW
Technique - No Maquet
Hole
The TTA Rapid techniques create an incomplete
osteotomy, freeing up the tibial tuberosity, but
leaving sufficient cranial cortex and tibial shaft to
be structurally sound. Levering the tibial tuberosity
cranially and then inserting and securing a cage into
the osteotomy gap to maintain the advancement. An
incomplete osteotomy reduces stability less than the
complete osteotomy seen in the original TTA technique
and is subjectively more comfortable for patients.
There are now two recognised TTA Rapid techniques.
The original involves drilling of a ‘Maquet’ hole at
the distal extent of the osteotomy. This provides a
fixed location point for the guides used when making
the osteotomy and in theory helps force distribution
around the circumference of the hole making cracking
around this point less likely. The technique of drilling
a hole at the end of a ‘crack’ has been common and
accepted practice in various engineering applications
for decades.
External Fixation
Step by Step Guide
We are pleased to announce that along with extensive
input from Gareth Arthurs, PGCertMedEd, MA.,
VetMB., CertVR., CertSAS., DSAS(Orth)., FHEA.,
MRCVS., RCVS Recognised Specialist in Small
Animal Surgery (Orthopaedics)., we have produced a
NEW Step By Step Guide on External Fixation.
The Guide features an
introduction to Linear ESF,
Circular ESF, Free-form ESF
and Hybrid ESF.
The guide also features
advantages and
disadvantages of ESF as well
as surgical techniques and
pin placement.
A body of surgeons believes the Maquet hole
is directly responsible for tibial shaft fractures,
especially where it is over-sized in proportion to the
tibial shaft diameter, so a second technique has
evolved that doesn’t use a Maquet hole at all. Avoiding
the use of a Maquet hole leaves more bone stock
behind, which may leave it stronger.
For further information, please
see our website for a short
animation of the TTA Rapid
Technique, and a video of
the surgical technique is also
available on our DVD code
DVDALL, or email us at

C-Lox (Patent Pending)
Developed over several years by Rita Leibinger Medical in cooperation with Professor Dr. Franck Forterre, Bern
University (Switzerland), C-Lox is gaining quite a following amongst European spinal surgeons for intervertebral
distraction fusion.
Manufactured in pure titanium using the same advanced selective laser
sintering (SLS) 3D printing technology as TTA Rapid cages, a trabecular
structure approaching the same Young’s modulus as cancellous bone
is created. In theory this reduces the risk of subsidence commonly seen
with many of the more basic metallic implants. The trabecular structure
also encourages early vascularisation and bone through-growth.
C-Lox cages feature integrated spikes that stand proud of the bearing
surfaces and engage with adjacent vertebral end-plates. Additional
locking screw fixation provides for a secure primary fixation.
Technique Summary
1. Preliminary cage size is selected following imaging
2. From a ventral approach, the affected intervertebral disc space is
identified and exposed
3. Drill adjacent vertebral bodies using a 2.5mm drill-bit and distract the
intervertebral disc space using the C-Lox Distractor
4. Perform laminectomy
5. Use the C-Lox Spinal Disk Broaching Curette to remove all remnants
of the nucleus pulposus and to create a bed for a C-Lox cage
6. Use trial cage (template, no spikes) to confirm cage selection
7. Insert final cage
8. Mark start point for screws using dedicated guide and drill-bit
9. Insert special C-Lox self-drilling, self-tapping titanium locking screws
A multi-centre European C-Lox study is currently in progress headed by Dr Franck Forterre and Günter Schwarz.
With early results showing great promise, the decision has been made to make C-Lox available to experienced spinal
surgeons outside of the trial group and not to deny a greater patient population access to C-Lox surgery.
The full C-Lox kit contains all the C-Lox instrumentation and drill bits, 1 of each trial cage, 1 of each implantable cage
and 5 screws of each screw length. The full kit is available for purchase, but UK customers may like to start by hiring
our short term loan kit for specific cases (subject to availability and terms of use). Please contact our Vet Tech Team
on 0845 130 9596 or email [email protected].

Cruciate Head Cortical Self Tapping Screws
Hex Head Screw
Cruciate Head Screw
For the lowest profile
constructs, we recommend
the use of cruciate drive
screws. The screw-heads are
significantly lower than the
equivalent screw with a hex
drive socket.
Following surgeon requests we now have added 1.5mm, 2.0mm & 2.4mm Cortical Self Tapping Screws with a
Cruciate Head to our range.
The Cruciate Head design improves the security of grip when driving the smaller screws and is less likely to cause
rounding off of the screw heads.
Specific sized Screwdrivers have also been designed as well as inserts for those surgeons using or preferring the
Modular Handle Screwdriver.
The 1.5mm Screws are sized from 6mm - 24mm in length and the 2.0mm and 2.4mm are sized from 6mm - 40mm
in length.
Features:
• Low profile head
• Increased strength over standard
self tapping screws
• Improved drive coupling vs. hex equivalent
• Carefully tapered thread run-out below head
• AO compatible

TTA Rapid Petite
Advancements of just 3mm are required for most
cats and many smaller dogs.
For these smaller patients, the TTA Rapid Petite
system has been developed.
The system features dedicated instrumentation and
a dedicated selection of both cages and screws
which the surgeon will find are better tailored to
those smaller patients.
FLEXIPATH Trocars are sterile single-patientuse instruments that consist of a mechanical
obturator and a flexible sleeve.
When activated, the mechanical obturator
expands the flexible sleeve, which becomes
secured to the mechanical obturator for
placement. The flexible sleeve incorporates
holes (for sutures or skin staples) to secure it
to the skin.
TPLO Narrow Head 3.5mm Broad Locking Plates
An intermediate 3.5mm Locking TPLO Plate developed following
customer requests.
This Plate has similar strength in the shaft and mid section to the 3.5mm
Broad Plate, but only 3 screw holes in the head section for use with
smaller proximal segments.
Arthrex Meniscal
Instrumentation
New to the Arthrex range is the Meniscal Probe
Cutter and Stifle Distractor.
The Probe Cutter incorporates a hook for meniscal
probing and a spring loaded cutter is advanced by
means of a slider in the tubular handle.
The Arthroscopic Stifle Distractor sigmoid shape
permits both stifle distraction and subluxation for
optimal meniscal examination. Available in 3 sizes.

Patient Warming
The benefits of preventing hypothermia
both during and after surgery are well
documented, both in terms of improved
patient care and more efficient use of
resources.
Use of the AAS Darvall Cocoon Warm
Air Blankets to pre-warm patients and
Heated Anaesthetic Circuits for all procedures plus blankets under
anaesthetised animals during longer procedures, over 60 minutes,
followed by post-op cage blanket use will help optimise patient
recovery from anaesthesia.
For a free demonstartion

and Blankets and
the Darvall Heated
Anaesthetic Circuits in
your practice please call

0845 130 9596
‘As a specialist referral centre we have procedures that require the patient
to be under General Anaesthesia for several hours, and this inherently
cause issues with keeping the patient’s temperature normothermic.’
‘Using the Darvall heated circuit has added to our ability to maintain the
patients temperature. The heated tubing has made a positive impact on
reducing the time it takes to warm them post surgery.’
