The 3.5mm Veterinary Biocurve TPLO Plates – Multilength & LCP 12–26mm Screws, 46 Pcs Set (Stainless Steel) is a comprehensive veterinary orthopedic fixation system designed for use in tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) procedures. TPLO is a commonly performed orthopedic technique for managing cranial cruciate ligament insufficiency in dogs. This set provides multiple plate and screw options to help veterinary orthopedic surgeons select an appropriate fixation configuration according to the patient’s anatomy, osteotomy characteristics, and surgical requirements.
The Biocurve TPLO plates feature a curved profile intended to conform to the proximal tibial region following the TPLO procedure. Their contoured design can support appropriate positioning along the prepared bone surface while allowing the surgeon to establish a stable fixation construct. Multilength plate options provide flexibility for different canine patient sizes and anatomical requirements.
The set uses a 3.5mm locking compression plate (LCP) screw system, with screw lengths ranging from 12mm to 26mm. This range allows selection of an appropriate screw length based on bone thickness, plate position, and the required fixation depth. Locking screw technology can provide a fixed-angle connection between the screw and plate, helping maintain the intended construct geometry when properly applied.
Manufactured from stainless steel, the plates and associated components are designed for durability and resistance to corrosion under appropriate surgical and processing conditions. Stainless steel is widely used in veterinary orthopedic instrumentation and implant systems because of its mechanical strength and suitability for demanding surgical environments. The instruments supplied with the set should be handled carefully to preserve working surfaces, cutting edges, threads, and other precision components.
A complete 46-piece configuration can be particularly useful for veterinary practices that perform TPLO procedures and require multiple implant and instrumentation options within one organized system. Having different plate lengths and screw sizes available during surgery can help the surgical team select components that correspond with the individual dog’s tibial anatomy and fixation requirements.
The set is intended for professional veterinary use. Proper preoperative imaging and surgical planning are important for determining the appropriate plate size, screw placement, osteotomy position, and fixation strategy. Implant selection should consider the dog’s weight, breed, bone dimensions, bone quality, osteotomy geometry, and overall clinical condition.
Before surgery, all reusable instruments should be inspected for damage, deformation, corrosion, worn threads, or other defects. Cleaning and sterilization should follow the manufacturer’s validated instructions and the veterinary facility’s established infection-control protocols. Implant components should be prepared and handled according to their intended use and applicable manufacturer instructions.
The 3.5mm Veterinary Biocurve TPLO Plates Set combines multilength TPLO plates with a selection of 12–26mm LCP screws in a 46-piece stainless steel system. It is designed to provide veterinary orthopedic professionals with a practical range of components for canine TPLO fixation while supporting organized surgical preparation and appropriate implant selection.

FAQs
What is a 3.5mm Veterinary Biocurve TPLO Plate used for?
A 3.5mm Veterinary Biocurve TPLO Plate is designed for fixation following tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) procedures in dogs.
What does TPLO stand for in veterinary orthopedics?
TPLO stands for tibial plateau leveling osteotomy. It is an orthopedic surgical procedure commonly used to address cranial cruciate ligament insufficiency in dogs.
What screws are included in this TPLO plate set?
The set includes LCP locking screws ranging from 12mm to 26mm, providing multiple length options for appropriate fixation planning.
How many pieces are included in the veterinary TPLO set?
This veterinary orthopedic system contains 46 pieces, including multilength Biocurve TPLO plates and compatible LCP screws and components.
What material are the TPLO plates made from?
The plates and listed fixation components are made from stainless steel, providing a durable material for veterinary orthopedic implant applications.
What dogs can use a 3.5mm TPLO plate?
The appropriate TPLO plate depends on the dog’s size, tibial anatomy, bone quality, weight, and surgical requirements. A qualified veterinary surgeon should select the appropriate implant configuration.
What are the advantages of multilength TPLO plates?
Multilength plates provide different fixation dimensions, allowing the surgeon to select a plate configuration that better corresponds with the patient’s anatomy and osteotomy requirements.
Are the screws locking screws?
Yes. The set includes LCP locking screws designed to engage with compatible threaded plate holes and provide fixed-angle fixation when properly applied.
