Model DynaForce - Staple Compression Plates
Our proprietary Staple Compression Plates™ (SCPs) are the only plates which utilize a staple instead of a lag screw to provide compression. This gives three important advantages: Gap Recovery: Compressing the fusing joint if there is bone resorption, Apposition: Provides full bone surface contact, Speed: Reduces OR time by up to an hour, SCP gap recovery, apposition and speed (GAS) all work to give faster fusions and rapid recovery.
Complete Bone Apposition
One of the least discussed features of the SCP™ system is the staple does not violate the surface area of the fusion site like a lag screw. This bone preservation may have a substantial positive impact on bone healing.
The average surface area of an MTP joint is 38mm2, and the surface area of a 3.5mm lag screw is 10mm2. This means a lag screw of this diameter would remove over 25% of the available surface area for bone growth.
Speed
Traditional fusion plates require a fixation screw (lag screw) to be driven through the joint for added fixation and compression. However, placing a lag screw is time-consuming due to trajectory and anatomic issues. The staple of the DynaForce® delivers compression much more efficiently.
Gap Recovery Through Deep Staple Compression
The DynaFORCE® staple system boasts 27lbs. of strong compression.
Additionally, independent testing has demonstrated the compression of the staple radiates deep into the bone to reduce gaps in the fusion. This allows better bone contact during the healing process to create a stronger fusion*.
Rotational Stability
The DynaForce® Staple Compression Plate System has 2.5 times more rotational stability than a traditional plate and lag screw.
