The SURFIX® implants for bone fixation take advantage
of a new and outstanding principle,which consists in fixing the screw
to the implants. Fixation is secured through to a threaded lipped socket
integrated in the plate and to a lock screw which is fitted into it.

|
This technique modifies and improves considerably
the mechanical qualities of plate fixation.
|
|
| Great stability. The different elements, which were seperate, now constitute a single unit system. | |
| No damage of blood vessels in the periosteum. A close contact between the boneand the plate is no longer necessary to ensure a reliable fixation. | |
| Strength and flexibility. The SURFIX® plate avoids instabilities of all kinds, just like with other implants, which are however more rigid and more difficult to fit. | |
| Good resistance to : | |
