The Veterinary 2.7mm TPLO Plates 46mm L&R 44 Pcs is a specialized veterinary orthopedic implant system developed for fixation following tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) procedures. TPLO is an established orthopedic surgical technique used primarily in canine patients for management of cranial cruciate ligament insufficiency. This system provides left- and right-sided plate configurations together with compatible screws, giving veterinary orthopedic surgeons a selection of fixation components for appropriate clinical cases.

The system features 2.7 mm TPLO plates with a 46 mm configuration, designed for use in veterinary orthopedic applications where the dimensions and geometry of the implant are appropriate for the patient’s tibial anatomy. The availability of both left and right plates allows the surgical team to select the configuration corresponding to the operated limb. Proper implant selection should always be based on patient size, bone anatomy, osteotomy characteristics, radiographic assessment, and the veterinarian’s surgical judgment.

A TPLO plate is used to stabilize the tibial osteotomy following surgical leveling of the tibial plateau. The plate maintains the relationship between the osteotomized bone segments while the healing process occurs. Correct positioning and fixation are essential, and the implant must be used according to the applicable surgical technique and manufacturer specifications.

The 2.7 mm plate system is particularly relevant to veterinary orthopedic fixation where a smaller implant profile and appropriately sized fixation components are required. The exact suitability of a 2.7 mm TPLO system depends on the animal’s size, tibial dimensions, bone quality, surgical technique, and the specific implant design. Veterinary surgeons should select implants only after assessing the individual patient and confirming compatibility with the planned procedure.

Manufactured from SS 316L stainless steel, the plates and screws use a corrosion-resistant stainless-steel material commonly associated with medical and surgical applications. 316L stainless steel contains molybdenum and has a low-carbon composition, characteristics that contribute to its corrosion resistance and suitability for many implant applications. The actual performance of an implant remains dependent on its design, manufacturing quality, surface finish, dimensions, and intended clinical use.

The 44-piece set provides a consolidated selection of TPLO plates and screws for veterinary surgical preparation. A multi-component system can simplify orthopedic inventory management by providing both left- and right-sided plates and associated fixation components within one organized set. This can be useful for veterinary hospitals, animal orthopedic centers, referral practices, and surgical facilities performing small-animal orthopedic procedures.

The bilateral configuration is particularly useful because the operated limb determines whether a left- or right-sided plate is required. The 46 mm plate specification provides a defined implant configuration, while the supplied screws are intended to work with the corresponding plate system. Surgical teams should verify screw length, diameter, thread compatibility, and plate interface before use.

Before implantation, each plate and screw should be carefully inspected for visible damage, deformation, contamination, compromised threads, or other abnormalities. Components should be handled with appropriate surgical care to protect the plate and screw interfaces. Only compatible components and approved instrumentation should be used with the implant system.

Cleaning and sterilization must be performed according to the manufacturer’s validated instructions for use. Although SS 316L is widely used in surgical environments and can withstand appropriate sterilization processes, the material designation alone does not establish a specific sterilization cycle. Veterinary facilities should follow validated processing parameters and their applicable infection-control procedures.

Proper TPLO fixation also depends on accurate surgical technique, appropriate osteotomy preparation, correct plate positioning, suitable screw selection, and postoperative management. The implant system is a fixation aid and should be selected as part of an overall veterinary orthopedic treatment plan.

With 2.7 mm sizing, 46 mm plates, left- and right-sided configurations, compatible screws, and SS 316L construction, this Veterinary TPLO Plate System provides veterinary orthopedic professionals with a practical implant option for selected tibial plateau leveling osteotomy procedures.

Product Specifications

FAQs

1. What are veterinary TPLO plates used for?

Veterinary TPLO plates are orthopedic implants used to stabilize the tibial osteotomy created during a tibial plateau leveling osteotomy procedure. TPLO is commonly performed in dogs with cranial cruciate ligament insufficiency.

2. What does 2.7 mm mean on a veterinary TPLO plate?

The 2.7 mm designation identifies the plate and compatible fixation system size. It should be selected according to the patient’s anatomy, implant design, and the manufacturer’s approved surgical indications.

3. What does the 46 mm specification indicate?

The 46 mm specification identifies the stated plate configuration or dimension within this TPLO system. Exact dimensional interpretation should be confirmed against the manufacturer’s technical specifications.

4. Does this TPLO plate set include left and right plates?

Yes. The product is specified with left and right TPLO plates, allowing selection according to the operated limb.

5. Are screws included in the veterinary TPLO set?

Yes. The product title specifies a 44-piece set with screws. The exact number and dimensions of individual screws should be verified against the manufacturer’s component list.

6. What material are these veterinary TPLO plates made from?

The plates and system are specified as SS 316L stainless steel. 316L is a low-carbon stainless-steel alloy commonly used in medical and surgical applications because of its corrosion-resistant properties.
