Medical Optical range encompasses a wide variety of products that include medical equipment, cranio maxillofacial, orthopaedics and surgical and CSSD. Acumed Ulna Shortening Plates is one of the orthopaedic products offered by Medical+Optical that are designed to offer an extensive hand and wrist solution to the patient. These plates are created with an anatomic low profile plate along with a built in osteotomy reference guides and a simplified surgical technique. They exactly fit the volar anatomy of the ulna. Acumed Ulna Shortening Plates widens, when the distal portion of the ulna widens, thereby strengthening the plate and offer firm fixation until the bone heals. Sides are smoothened to reduce the soft tissue irritation and discomfort of the patients. Reference guides on the plate eases osteotomy creation and also indicates the exact amount of shortening achieved. Ulna Shortening Osteotomy includes Ulna Impaction Syndrome, DRUJ incongruity and Traumatic and degenerative tears of the TFCC that has been associated with positive ulna variance. The interfragmentary lag screw of Acumed Ulna Shortening Plates is placed through a scalloped slot in the centre of the plate and angles across the osteotomy, which has been designed to maximise and compress the fixation. The technically demanding cutting guides lag guide assembly and reduction devices are easily eliminated to simplify the surgical technique and to reduce the operating time.
