System Features
Tailored Fit for Complex Anatomy
The A.L.P.S. Clavicle Plating System is designed to allow for in situ contouring and length adjustment due to F.A.S.T. Tabs® Technology. Plates can be bent, contoured and in some places broken to adjust length providing numerous anatomical variations with these 18 plates. This design offers intraoperative flexibility allowing surgeons to tailored plate fit  for optimal implant stability.Ìý
Intuitive Instrumentation
The systemÌýis designed toÌýprovide precise, user-friendly instrumentation and a simple surgical technique to help streamline workflow. 91ÖÆƬ³§ safety features are built into the instrument’s design to minimize damage to adjacent soft tissue structures suchÌýas the subclavian vessels, nerves and lungs.ÌýInstruments provide precise measurements, allowing the surgeon to make appropriate screw selection. Short drill limits the maximum drill depth to help surgeons minimize potential damage to surrounding soft tissue structures. Protection of the neuromuscular structures during drilling may also be facilitated by using the Crego Elevator beneath the clavicle as a drill protector.
Systematic Efficiency
The A.L.P.S. Clavicle Plating SystemÌýprovides systematic efficiencyÌýdueÌýto the flexibility of the plate design and intuitive instrumentation.ÌýThe implants and instruments required to perform a procedure are provided in one case for easy handling, storage and transportation, eliminating the need for multiple implant and instrument trays.ÌýEach aspect of the system is designed to streamline workflow to provide OR efficiency.
These 18 plates in the system are optimally designed to cover fracture patterns similar to those ofÌýcompetitiveÌýsystems offering 30+ implants.1-3

Benefits
Low-Profile Plate Design
- The A.L.P.S. Clavicle Plating System offers a low-profile design that allows for insitu contouring and shortening to provide a tailored fit for the highly variable needs of the clavicle anatomy. These design features areÌýdesignedÌýto minimizes discomfort, soft tissue irritation and visual prominence in the clavicle where there is limited soft tissue coverage.
Implant Stability
- Offers three-point fixation for implant stability.
Flexibility in plate design
- Plates can be bent, contoured and in some places broken to adjust length providing numerous anatomical variations eliminating the need for multiple implants and instrument trays.
Minimize Potential Damage
- InstrumentationÌýprovides precise measurements andÌýaÌýshort drill limits the maximum drill depthÌýdesignedÌýto help surgeonsÌýminimize potential damage to surrounding soft tissue structures and protect theÌýneurovascularÌýbundle.
Streamlining Workflow
- One drill and one driver following plate selectionÌýaim to simplifyÌýthe procedure for theÌýsurgical team, eliminating the need for multiple implants and instrument trays.
Education
Literature
Surgical Approach:
The A.L.P.S. Clavicle System offers three families of plating solutions based on varied fracture patterns and surgeon preference. Clavicle bones are unique by nature. The system was designed to allow both intuitive fit, and intraoperative flexibility to personalize plate fit as desired through contouring and shortening.ÌýÌý
