Arthrex AR-8958-01S Two-Hole Plate - Stainless Steel, 3.5mm Compression Hole

Arthrex Two-Hole Linear Plate | 316L Stainless Steel | AR-8958-01S

The Arthrex AR-8958-01S is a high-precision orthopedic implant engineered for 2026 standards in internal fixation. This two-hole linear plate is crafted from medical-grade 316L stainless steel, providing the structural rigidity required for localized bone compression and stabilization while maintaining a low-profile geometry.

Designed as a versatile "utility plate," the AR-8958-01S is a critical component for small-fragment trauma and reconstructive procedures where maximizing stability and minimizing soft tissue irritation are equally paramount.

Key Performance Features

• High-Grade 316L Stainless Steel: Offers exceptional tensile strength and superior biocompatibility, ensuring a rigid construct that can withstand the physiological loads of bone healing.

• Low-Profile Geometry: Specifically engineered to minimize palpable hardware. The contoured edges and slim profile reduce the risk of soft tissue interference and "hardware prominence" in areas with minimal subcutaneous coverage.

• Precision Screw Interface: Optimized for use with 3.5mm cortical or locking screws, ensuring a secure, flush interface that facilitates stable compression across the fracture or osteotomy site.

• Linear Two-Hole Configuration: The compact design allows for targeted fixation in restricted anatomical spaces where larger plates are contraindicated.

Clinical Advantages

• Versatile Utility: An ideal solution for a variety of indications, including distal fibula fractures, metatarsal/metacarpal osteotomies, and localized fusion procedures.

• Sterile Ready: Being factory-sterile and individually packaged, this plate eliminates the time and cost associated with facility-level reprocessing and sterilization, making it ideal for emergency trauma cases.

• Rigid Fixation: The stainless steel construct provides the necessary stiffness to maintain anatomic reduction, supporting primary bone healing and early patient mobilization.

Ideal Applications

• Orthopedic Trauma: Small fragment fixation and stabilization of comminuted fractures in the extremities.

• Podiatric Surgery: Metatarsal osteotomies, Lapidus procedures, and midfoot fusions.

• Hand & Wrist Surgery: Metacarpal fixation where a robust, low-profile linear plate is required.
