System Features

The Next Generation Has Arrived. 

Hands-Free

  • Tines for “hands-free” control of plate on bone
  • No provisional k-wires required
  • Tine technology designed to resist plate shifting 
  • Three points of fixation in small footprint

Compression

  • Compression ramp helps the surgeon to dial in up to 3.5 mm of linear compression based on tactile response 
  • Removable compression ramp is pre-assembled on plate 
  • Compression achieved through tines, not screws, designed to reduce shear force

Fully-Sterile

  • An expansive, fully sterile implant/instrument system

  • Time and cost savings as sterilization before surgery is no longer necessary

  • Instrumentation has never been used, damaged or worn prior to surgery

Benefits

Efficient

  • The Stratum RS Reduced Size Foot Plating System includes innovative technology. The system has 18 distinctive plates (tined and tineless options) along with locking, non-locking, and multi-directional screws, ready to go in sterile procedure kits, which add value by addressing the productivity needs of the surgical team.

Low-Profile

  • The tabbed design on the compression ramp is intended to allow for easy removal.

Versatile

  •  Plate position can be quickly modified with the ability to bend using insitu-contouring to achieve optimal fit to the bone. Thread bender into holes using the compression nut driver and slowly separate benders until the plate is contoured down to the bone.
