Humerus compression plate Polarus 3

proximalmediallocking

Designed to provide multiple solutions for fractures of the humerus, the Polarus 3 Solution provides plate and nail options in one comprehensive system. The system includes a Posterior Plate for capturing posterior greater tuberosity fragments as well as a Standard Plate for less complex fractures. Nail options include both a Proximal and a Long Nail. Key Features Plate and Nail Options Polarus 3 offers a comprehensive plate solution, as well as short and long nails. Plate: Plating with Posterior Tab Option Two bendable posterior tabs are intended to support posterior comminution. Plate: Medial Buttress Support Three targeted calcar screws are designed to help prevent the humeral head from collapsing into varus. Nail: A More Medial Entry A four-degree curvature in the nail allows for a more medial entry that helps preserve the rotator cuff and facilitates insertion. Nail: Proximal Locking Mechanism Pre-assembled PEEK insert is designed to prevent screw back-out by creating proximal locking screw friction. Standard and Posterior Plates The Polarus 3 Solution offers enhanced features in both plate and instrumentation design. Polarus 3 offers Posterior Plates to capture greater tuberosity fragments, as well as Standard Plates for less complex fractures in the humeral head. Both plate families offer multiple suture holes, medial calcar support holes, and a variety of lengths Additional Features Include: Lower plate placement designed to avoid subacromial impingement. Left/right specific plates are anatomically precontoured.
