Volition® MTPJ and Universal Plating System
VOLITION® MTPJ and Universal plating system focuses on providing a solution for an array of conditions within the forefoot and midfoot. These include, but are not exclusive to joint arthrodesis and bone stabilization.
Volition® MTPJ and In-Line MTPJ Plate Guides - Accuracy and Placement reassured
Patent pending MTPJ and In-Line MTPJ plate guides. Designed to assist accurate placement of the 3.5mm lag screw, with the reassurance that all of the plate screws will be avoided.
Volition® MTPJ and Universal Plating Features & Benefits
Advantages of VOLITION® Plating
- Type II anodized plates increases fatigue strength by roughly 25% compared to Type III, thereby reducing risk of device fracture
- Type II anodize plates produce anti-galling properties + Type III anodise screws result in minimizing coldwelding for easier implant removal, if required
- Utilisation of V-Lock® Technology minimises cross-threading between an off-axis locking screw and plate thereby increasing overall construct strength
- Optimisation of plate strength by not needing to utilize softer plate material/alloy which allows screws to plastically deform/tap into it
- Preservation of debris-free wound site as no implementation of screw coating. Some coatings, such as a TiN coat, enable metal-tapping of the plate, and can flake off over time leaving debris
- Generous fillets creating soft edges and transitions on the plates along with ultra-low profile nature result in minimizing the likelihood of soft tissue irritation
VOLITION™ Screw Features
- 2.7, 3.5 & 4.0mm screw diameters offered can be used in non-lock, fixed angle lock and variable angle locking (30° conical capability) modalities
- Self-tapping, yet blunt tip minimizes potential soft tissue irritation
- NL screw design of cancellous-type OD/ID ratio with hybrid-type pitch producing an increased purchase
- Cheater’s lag/bite upon insertion satiates tactile feedback; tapered ID in the neck significantly increases bending strength
- 3.5mm cannulated screws housed within set for additional fixation needs
Advantages of V-Lock® Technology
- Patent-pending plate/screw interface allows smooth, easy locking on or off-axis
- Proprietary technology (PCT/US19/60895 ) incorporates a differential thread angle at the interface, allowing variable axis locking with minimal cross-threading
- Minimises pushing of the screw away from desired trajectory and towards perpendicular upon insertion
- Decreased propensity to strip plate/screw interface due to minimal cross-threading
