OrthoHelix's unique plates contain Tribrid™ Technology. The plates can accommodate non-locking, fixed angle locking and variable angle locking screws. Click Here to view video.

 

 

 

3.5mm Variable Angle Locking Screw 
The PEEK Ring, made from PEEK-OPTIMA® polymer, can be inserted into the locking holes of all MaxLock Extreme® plates. The PEEK Ring comes preassembled with a disposable driver. When the 3.5 mm variable locking screw is inserted, it interfaces with the PEEK Ring to create a locked construct. The construct can allow for up to 30° of conical freedom while providing rigid fixation. The custom drill guide aids in angle selection.

 

 

 

 

3.5mm Fixed Angle Locking Screws

The locking 3.5mm screw, when interfaced with the plate, creates a locked construct at an angle that is typical to most fixation patterns.
 
 
 

 

 
 
2.7mm, 3.5mm, 4.0mm Non-locking Screws
Three non-locking screw options are provided in the system to accommodate a variety of preferences and patient types. All the screws provided in the MaxLock Extreme® are hybrid screws to increase purchase and enhance pullout strength.

 

 

 

 

Surgeons base their screw choice on patient needs and bone quality. The MaxLock Extreme® plates allow for three screw options (non-locking, fixed angle locking and variable angle locking) which can be used in any of the threaded holes of the plate. If a surgeon inserts a PEEK Ring with a variable angle screw, and then decides to remove it due to the patient’s needs, the plate is still useable and will not be damaged due to the removal. Note that the PEEK Ring is no longer usable after removal.
