Micro Hand Plating System

The Micro Hand Plating System Instrument Set is a premium toolkit for the fixation of metacarpal and phalangeal fractures. Engineered for 1.2mm, 1.5mm, and 2.0mm screw systems, this medical-grade titanium set features ultra-fine reduction forceps, micro-drill guides, and self-holding screwdrivers. It is the gold standard for hand surgeons requiring low-profile stability to ensure rapid recovery of finger dexterity and function.

The Micro Hand Plating System Instrument Set is a high-precision orthopedic solution specifically engineered for the internal fixation of small bone fractures in the hand, including the phalanges and metacarpals. This ultra-low-profile system is designed to provide stable fixation while minimizing soft-tissue interference, which is critical for maintaining tendon gliding and finger mobility.

Constructed from Medical-Grade Titanium or 316L Surgical Stainless Steel, the instruments are scaled down for the delicate micro-surgical environment of the hand, supporting 1.2mm, 1.5mm, and 2.0mm screw diameters.

Detailed Instrument Breakdown & Utility

1. Micro-Reduction & Manipulation

  • Pointed Micro-Reduction Forceps: Designed with extremely fine tips to grasp and realign delicate phalangeal fragments without crushing the bone.

  • Micro-Periosteal Elevators: Used to gently lift the periosteum and retract tendons from the fracture site, ensuring a clear field for plate placement.

  • Plate Holding Forceps: Specialized “locking” forceps that hold the micro-plate against the bone during the drilling process to prevent shifting.

2. High-Precision Drilling

  • Micro-Drill Bits (0.9mm / 1.1mm / 1.5mm): Precision-ground with sharp flutes for high-speed, low-heat drilling in small bone structures.

  • Double-Ended Micro Drill Guides: Allows for both neutral and compression drilling (ECC) even in the confined spaces of the finger joints.

  • Threaded Drill Sleeves: Essential for locking plates to ensure the screw enters at the exact angle required to engage the plate’s threads.

3. Measurement & Fixation

  • Micro-Depth Gauge: Features a ultra-slim sliding needle and a high-contrast scale (0mm–30mm) for sub-millimeter accuracy, preventing “screw-tip protrusion” into the palm or adjacent joints.

  • Self-Holding Screwdrivers: Equipped with a cruciform or Star-drive tip and a retention sleeve to securely hold the tiny screws, preventing them from being lost in the surgical field.

4. Plate Customization

  • Micro-Bending Pliers: Specifically designed to contour thin 0.5mm to 1.0mm thick plates to the cylindrical shape of the metacarpals and phalanges without kinking the screw holes.

Clinical Indications

  • Phalangeal & Metacarpal Fractures: Simple, comminuted, or spiral fractures.

  • Avulsion Fractures: Specifically those involving the collateral ligaments of the fingers.

  • Small Bone Osteotomies: Corrective surgeries for finger deformities.

  • Arthrodesis: Fusion of the DIP, PIP, or MCP joints.

Product Highlights for Surgeons

  • Ultra-Low Profile: Plates and screws sit nearly flush with the bone to prevent “hardware awareness” and tendon irritation.

  • Color-Coded System: Instruments and screw modules are color-coded (e.g., Gold for 1.5mm, Blue for 2.0mm) for error-free identification.

  • Modular Compact Tray: A lightweight, high-heat resistant sterilization case that fits easily into small autoclaves.
