Bone Plate Systems
All BioMedtrix bone plates feature the HyProtect antimicrobial coating. Both the TPLO Curve and MultiPurpose bone plates are manufactured to all sizes necessary to suit any breed dog or cat.
BioMedtrix also offers a full range of lengths of both cortical and locking screws.
HyProtect™ Antimicrobial Coating
HyProtect is a pure-silver based plasma coating which provides a continuous release of silver ions to inhibit the growth of bacteria on the surface of the implant. Without this antimicrobial protection, periprosthetic (implant site) infections may occur, generally within 12 weeks after surgery.
Though less common than surgical site (surface) infections, periprosthetic infections can hinder recovery, and may require medical treatment or surgical explantation and revision. The HyProtect antimicrobial coating provides protection from local infection for at least 100 days.
MICROSILVER
The active component of the HyProtect coating, MicroSilver is a biocompatible, chemical, mechanical and temperature stable pure elemental powder. It is produced of a combined physical vapor deposition (Silver particles) and chemical vapor deposition (SiOxCy) process.
This silver technology features broad spectrum antimicrobial efficacy, including multi-resistant germs and bacteria, and has been at use in the medical field for over 10 years.
The StaySharp TPLO saw blade was developed to provide a faster and cooler cut for an osteotomy capable of healing in 4-6 weeks. Manufactured from durable stainless steel, this semi-disposable blade is the thinnest on the market. The thinner, cooler cut provided by the StaySharp saw blade allows for improved compression and potentially faster healing of the osteotomy.
Fine Blade Provides Better Bone Contact: Thinnest saw blade available – only 0.3 mm – allows for increased bone contact and potentially faster healing when compression is applied to osteotomy
Manufacturing: Manufactured from the highest quality steel for optimal strength and guaranteed durability for a full 25 uses
Improved Cut and Irrigation: Faster and cooler cut with saline irrigation reduces the potential for bone necrosis
Fast, Easy Blade Exchange: Innovative quick-release hub allows for a fast, easy exchange with a sterile blade
Sterile Packaging: Sold in single-size packs of four (4) sterile saw blades
