SOP™ Low Profile
Our latest 2.0mm titanium locking plate system designed specifically for smaller patients
We’re not just selling products, we hold a variety of veterinary orthopaedic workshops and events throughout the year both in the UK and the United States.
View Workshops & EventsWe have a vast range of support material developed to provide you with tips & techniques which will revolutionise your veterinary surgical techniques
View all ResourcesBy popular request, we have now designed and manufactured a smaller, lower profile system to allow easier placement in particular on smaller patients.
This low profile plating system uses SOP™ technology with titanium alloy plates with dedicated screws and instrument sets.
They have been applied to a wide variety fractures in canines and felines starting at 1.8kg
Available in 3 sizes
All plates can be cut to required size
Applications
Locking Plate
Small degrees of bending and twisting of the SOP™-LP is possible and no bending tees are required for this plate
The screw head incorporates a unique cross driver design which utilizes a custom screwdriver which comes as part of the instrument set. This has a small, soft grip handle in order to limit the amount of torque than can be applied
Titanium alloys have a high strength to weight ratio when compared to stainless steel which is useful in small patients and titanium alloy is highly biocompatible which again can be useful in minimising infection risk.
Titanium alloys are less stiff and strong when compared to stainless steel but the 2.0mm SOP-LP has been designed to be stiffer than the standard 2.0mm SOP which has been confirmed by computer modelling.
The SOP LP system has been applied to a wide variety fractures in canines and felines starting at 1.8kg
Precision Instruments
By working closely with world renowned orthopaedic surgeons, bio-mechanical engineers, and expert material scientists, we have been able to produce a set of instruments & implants that not only break new ground, but are so technically advanced they meet & exceed all medical gold standards for sugical equipment.
The titanium plates are available in 2.0mm, with three variations:
Unique custom-made screwdriver with dedicated screws with unique screw head technology
Alignment pins are used which screw into the plate. These can be used to help the surgeon ensure the drill guide and therefore the drill bit is perpendicular to the plate.
The lightweight, durable cases have been machined to hold each instrument securely in place.
Workshops & Resources
Every customer is guaranteed a level of support which will enable them to achieve the best outcomes using the implants and instruments that they have purchased.
We run a full day fracture repair workshop using the SOP™ locking plate system, ideal for surgeons who are competent in basic fracture management and internal plating.
This workshop is perfect for surgeons who are wanting to become more experienced in locking plate mechanics, versatility and case selection on a wide variety of applications.
As well as providing workshops for our products we also have a selection of resources available to our customers such as user guides, videos, case studies and templates.
