Engineering Superiority: Ti-6Al-4V ELI & Advanced Locking Geometries
A rigorous examination of orthopedic internal fixation dynamics, minimizing stress-shielding while ensuring biomechanical rigidity and osseous union.
Ti-6Al-4V ELI (Grade 23) Metallurgy
Utilizing Medical Grade Ti-6Al-4V Extra Low Interstitial (ASTM F136 / ISO 5832-3), our bone plates deliver exceptional biocompatibility, superior fatigue limits (>650 MPa), and an elastic modulus of ~110 GPa—dramatically reducing the stress-shielding phenomena commonly induced by rigid stainless steel (200 GPa).
Combi-Hole & Dynamic Compression
The integrated dynamic compression unit allows orthogonal, angular-stable screw insertion alongside traditional dynamic compression. Surgeons achieve primary absolute stability or secondary callus-promoting relative stability within a singular reconstructive construct without altering the operative trajectory.
Periosteal Perfusion Preservation
Our Limited Contact (LC) undercut undersurface minimizes direct plate-to-bone contact area by over 45%. This preserves the periosteal microcirculation, accelerating biological revascularization and cutting union delays significantly compared to flat osteosynthesis implants.

Frequently Asked Questions for Sourcing & Procurement Teams
Essential guidance on product safety, fatigue verification, regulatory files, and order workflows.
How do ZATH titanium plates compare to stainless steel equivalents?
ZATH titanium plates (Ti-6Al-4V ELI) feature an elastic modulus (~110 GPa) closer to human cortical bone than stainless steel (200 GPa). This significantly decreases bone resorption due to stress shielding. Titanium also offers superior biological inertness, lower infection affinity, and complete MRI conditional safety.
What quality and mechanical fatigue standards do your trauma plates meet?
Every plate family undergoes static and dynamic 4-point bending testing according to ASTM F382 and ISO 9585 standards. Our constructs withstand over 5 million to 10 million cycles under cyclic load testing without mechanical failure, plastic deformation, or thread degradation.
Can you assist distributors with local Ministry of Health registrations?
Yes. We provide complete technical files (STED), ISO 13485 certificates, Declarations of Conformity, and China NMPA Free Sale Certificates authenticated by foreign affairs ministries. We also support regional audits with detailed manufacturing and validation data.
Are plates supplied sterile or non-sterile?
We provide both options. Our cleanroom facilities package sterile implants in Tyvek dual-barrier blister packs (EtO or Gamma validated to SAL 10⁻⁶), with a shelf life of 5 years. Alternatively, non-sterile products can be delivered for autoclaving in hospital central sterile supply departments (CSSD).
Do you supply matching surgical instrumentation sets?
Yes. Each plate system is paired with a matching surgical instrument kit, including hard-anodized aluminum sterilization containers, quick-coupling torque-limiting screwdrivers, drill bits, bone reduction forceps, tap sleeves, and variable-angle drill guides.
What is the standard production and shipping lead time for volume orders?
Standard trauma inventory ships within 7 to 10 working days. Customized OEM or private-label production runs generally require 3 to 4 weeks. Shipments are handled via express air logistics (DHL, FedEx, UPS) arriving within 4 to 6 days worldwide.
