The 4.5mm Locking Compression Plate (LCP) is an advanced orthopedic implant designed for rigid stabilization of long bone fractures in trauma, reconstructive, and veterinary orthopedic procedures. It combines locking technology with compression plating principles to provide maximum fixation stability and controlled bone healing.
This LCP system allows the use of both locking screws and cortical screws, offering flexibility in surgical technique. The locking mechanism creates a fixed-angle construct between the screw and plate, improving stability in complex fractures, osteoporotic bone, and load-bearing applications.
The plate features precision-engineered holes that support accurate screw placement and optimal compression when required. Its anatomical design ensures better bone contact and reduced soft tissue irritation during healing.
Manufactured from premium surgical-grade titanium or stainless steel (depending on configuration), the implant provides excellent biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and long-term mechanical strength. It is widely used in femur, tibia, humerus, and other major orthopedic fracture repairs.
The 4.5mm LCP system is commonly used in both human and veterinary orthopedic surgery, especially in cases requiring strong load-bearing fixation and precise alignment.
The plate is fully sterilizable and supplied in organized orthopedic systems for efficient surgical workflow and safe handling.
