Synthes 223.641 3.5mm LCP Plate 14 Holes 7-3/8"

Synthes 223.641 3.5mm LCP Plate 14 Holes 7-3/8"

• Model: 223.641
• 3.5mm
• A non-sterile implantable sheet of firm material intended to be attached to fractured long bone fragments with screws to bridge and stabilize the fracture gap, and shield the site from stress as the bone heals;
• The material is not chemically degraded or absorbed by natural body processes (includes an implant-grade metal such as surgical steel, titanium alloy, or carbon fiber).
• The device is typically used to treat traumatic or pathological orthopedic fractures; it may also be used temporarily to augment bone following a lengthening procedure or for arthrodesis (joint fusion).
• This device is intended to be sterilized before use.
• Overall Length: 7/3/8 inches

The Synthes LCP 3.5 mm Plate, model 223.641, is ideally suited for bridging and stabilizing fractures in small bones such as the forearm, wrist, or ankle. Its 14-hole length (189 mm) provides ample screw placements for secure fixation, while the modest 11 mm width minimizes soft tissue irritation. Crafted from surgical-grade stainless steel, the plate ensures robustness during healing—effectively resisting bending and fatigue while the bone consolidates.

Dual-Mode Locking & Compression Functionality

This plate is part of the LCP system, enabling both locking head screws for angular stability and conventional compression screws for fracture compression. Its 3.4 mm thickness achieves a balance between structural integrity and low profile, helping prevent prominence under the skin. The locking ability ensures a fixed-angle construct—useful in osteoporotic bone or complex fracture patterns—while standard screws can still compress and adjust alignment as needed.

Modular Design, Procedural Efficiency

With uniform 13 mm hole spacing, the plate allows predictable screw placement and intraoperative flexibility. This consistency makes it straightforward to contour or cut if needed. Compatible with the broader Synthes small fragment instrumentation and screw sets, it seamlessly integrates into existing surgical toolkits. Available both in sterile and lower-cost open package formats, the plate combines the advantages of surgical precision, cost-efficiency, and procedural agility.
