Variable Angle LCP® Locking Technology PART OF THE FAMILY OF COMPANIES

The Evolution of Plating Technology Round Screw Hole • Cortical or cancellous screws can be angled through the plate Dynamic Compression Plate (DCP®) Hole • Screw can be inserted eccentrically for axial compression • Screw placed in the inclined area of the plate hole will move the underlying bone horizontally in relation to the plate • Compression in only one direction Limited-Contact Dynamic Compression Plate (LC-DCP®) Hole • Screw can be inserted eccentrically for axial compression • Compression from either side of the hole • Allows cortical or cancellous screws to be angled through the...

2.7 mm /3.5 mm Variable Angle LCP Lateral Distal Humerus Plate The launch of the DePuy Synthes Locking Compression Plate (LCP®) System represented an important milestone in patient care. With the LCP System, locking screw technology was merged with conventional plating techniques. Since then, our locking compression plates have delivered successful clinical outcomes for patients all over the world. 2.7 mm /3.5 mm Variable Angle LCP Extended Medial Distal Humerus Plate As an innovator and market leader in locked plating technology for over ten years, DePuy Synthes offers the Variable Angle...

Benefits of Variable Angle Locking Variable angle locking screws provide the ability to create a fixed-angle construct while also allowing the surgeon the freedom to choose the screw trajectory. A fixed-angle construct provides advantages in osteopenic bone or multi-fragmentary fractures. With DePuy Synthes Variable Angle LCP System locking screw technology, screw angulation is unlimited within a cone of 30° around the central axis of the plate hole. Variable angle locking enables optimal screw positioning and offers many benefits, allowing the surgeon to: • Target fragments with...

2.4 mm Variable Angle LCP Two-Column Distal Radius Plate First TMT (Tarsometatarsal) Fusion Plate, 2.4 mm/2.7 mm Variable Angle LCP Forefoot/Midfoot System Focus on Simplicity Variable angle locking is achieved without the use of bushings, end caps, additional implants, or multiple technique steps. Other variable angle plating systems require thread-tapping of the plate or insertion of end caps, which increase the number of steps in the clinical procedure. The DePuy Synthes platform of Variable Angle LC P Plates is based on a common approach to implant design and instrumentation, reducing...

4.5 mm Variable Angle LCP Curved Condylar Plate Variable Angle LCP Locking Technology Variable Angle LCP Plate Hole Variable Angle LCP Plate Combi Hole threads in locking hole provide four points of locking between the VA LCP Plate and the variable angle locking screw, forming a fixed-angle construct at the desired screw angle angle plates feature a variable angle Combi Hole that combines a dynamic compression hole with a variable angle locking screw hole. This provides the flexibility of selecting either axial compression or variable angle locking in the same hole Variable Angle LCP Plate...
