DiPHOS H

Humeral Plate

DiPHOS H is an innovative solution for humeral fractures. A resistant yet sufficiently elastic device, DiPHOS H is a CFR-PEEK-made plate for the treatment of proximal humeral fractures.

This polymeric nature makes the implant bio-compatible, and it also ensures good mechanical properties. Without a doubt, DiPHOS H must be considered as an optimal choice for this type of clinical cases.

CFR-PEEK represents the combination of Poly Ether Ether Ketone (PEEK) and Carbon Fiber Reinforced 30% (CFR 30%).

Modulus of elasticity close to cortical bone supports easier and faster rehabilitation

Anti-cold welding polymeric build allows for easier implant removal

Radiolucent structure enhances visualization of the fracture site during surgery and follow-up

Angular stability cancellous and cortical screws support epiphyseal and diaphyseal stabilization

Product highlights

CFR-PEEK plate structure: solid, radiolucent, biocompatible, and free from galvanic corrosion risks

Ti6Al4V titanium alloy screws: conform to ISO 5832-3; strong, elastic, and MRI-compatible

ASTM F560 tantalum radiographic marker: highly radiopaque, and corrosion-resistant

Plate: 3 and 5 holes (L. 90 and 115mm);
Proximal angular stability screws: Ø 4mm, L. 30-60mm;
Distal positioning screw for the slotted hole: Ø 3.5mm, L. 16-40mm;
Distal angular stability screws: Ø 3.5mm, L. 16-40mm
