Vickers Low Profile universal Hand and Carpal 10x12mm

Clinical Application

Designed for stabilization and internal fixation of small bones in the hand and carpus, this low-profile universal plate is used in procedures addressing metacarpal and phalangeal fractures, periarticular defects, fracture fragment bridging, and limited arthrodesis. Its compact footprint is intended for cases where bone surface area is restricted and soft-tissue coverage is limited, helping to maintain alignment and permit early controlled mobilization when clinically appropriate.

Design & Configuration

The low-profile geometry reduces prominence on the bone surface to minimize tendon irritation and soft-tissue impingement in the tight anatomic spaces around the wrist and hand. The "universal" configuration supports versatile placement and contouring to variable anatomy across different metacarpal and carpal sites. The 10 x 12 mm footprint provides a small, focused contact area for fixation in confined surgical fields while allowing the surgeon to address fragment reduction and stabilization without excessive bulk.

Instrument Specifications

• Model: Vickers Low Profile universal
• Type: Low-profile fixation plate for hand and carpus
• Configuration: Universal design for contouring to small bones
• Size: 10 x 12 mm footprint
• Intended use: Fixation of small bone fractures, periarticular reconstruction, limited arthrodesis

Material & Construction

Precision-machined with a low-profile cross-section to promote close bone apposition and reduce soft-tissue irritation. The plate's form factor is optimized for use in constrained anatomical areas and for compatibility with standard hand and wrist fixation instrumentation.
