Question 1

What are hand and foot implants used for?

Accepted Answer

Hand and foot implants may be used to stabilise bones in selected surgical procedures. Plates and screws are examples of fixation devices. The relevant implant and treatment depend on the injury, anatomical location and clinical assessment. Not every hand or foot fracture requires surgery or an implant.

Question 2

What products are included in the featured hand system?

Accepted Answer

The featured 1.5mm Hand System contains six titanium plate designs: Strut, Adaption Y, Adaption T, Adaption Straight, Straight and Condylar Locking Plates. It also includes self-tapping, star head locking screws and cortical screws. Individual product pages show the listed configurations and catalogue references.

Question 3

Which screws do the listed hand plates support?

Accepted Answer

The catalogue states that all holes in the six listed plate designs support 1.5mm cortical and locking screws. Confirm the complete system and instrument requirements before use. Matching a nominal diameter does not, by itself, establish compatibility with another manufacturer’s screws or instruments.

Question 4

What lengths are available for the 1.5mm screws?

Accepted Answer

Both screw families list 15 lengths: 6 through 16 mm in 1 mm increments, followed by 18, 20, 22 and 24 mm. Each length has its own reference. Specify the screw family and exact length when requesting pricing or availability.

Question 5

Are the featured hand implants made from titanium?

Accepted Answer

The six plate descriptions specify titanium, and both screw tables use a Titanium column. The catalogue does not identify an alloy grade. If a particular material specification is necessary for your procurement process, request product-specific documentation before confirming the order.

Question 6

Does the Strut Locking Plate have right and left options?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The 1.5mm Strut Locking Plate is listed in right and left versions. Each measures 23 mm and has 8 holes, but the catalogue references differ. Include the side when making an enquiry so that the intended version is clear.

Question 7

How do the two straight plate models differ?

Accepted Answer

The Adaption Straight Locking Plate is offered with 6 holes at 29 mm or 12 holes at 59 mm. The Straight Locking Plate has compression and locking holes, with 4-hole, 23 mm and 6-hole, 36 mm options. Their product references are different.

Question 8

What is the difference between the Adaption Y and T plates?

Accepted Answer

The Adaption Y plate has 8 shaft holes, 3 head holes and a 47 mm length. The Adaption T plate has 8 shaft holes with either 3 or 4 head holes, and both T options measure 44.5 mm. Their catalogue applications should also be reviewed.

Question 9

Can the featured hand plates be used for foot fixation?

Accepted Answer

Foot use should not be inferred from the category name. The 1.5mm Hand System catalogue describes hand applications. A foot implant request requires confirmation of the relevant device, its intended use and supporting documentation. The treating clinician must determine suitability for the proposed procedure.

Question 10

What information should I include in a quotation request?

Accepted Answer

Include the product name, catalogue code, required quantity and delivery destination. For plates, add the length, hole configuration and side where applicable. For screws, specify the family and length. Mention any required documentation or instrument information so it can be addressed with the enquiry.

Question 11

Are implants and instruments automatically supplied together?

Accepted Answer

The catalogue does not establish which instruments or accessories are included with an order. Ask for an itemised quotation showing the implants, instruments and other components required. Confirm compatibility and package contents before purchasing rather than assuming that a product listing represents a complete set.

Question 12

Where can I find the exact product codes?

Accepted Answer

The individual product pages contain tables with the listed dimensions and original catalogue references. Use those tables to identify the exact configuration. When sending several items in one enquiry, retain each reference on a separate line with its quantity to keep the requested assortment clear.
