Features & Benefits

	Full Range of 2.7mm and 3.5mm Locking and Non-Locking Screws. Low Profile Plate Designs and Reduced Screw Head Prominence to minimize tissue irritation. Anodization Type II (for increased plate strength and reduced tissue adherence).
	Patented* Polyaxial Locking Technology allows for locking screws to be positioned within a variable ±15° locking range. Unique One-Step Locking is achieved by simply inserting a locking screw within the locking range of ±15°.
	Two Distinct Calcaneal Plate Designs are offered in the system. The Mesh Plate Design provides surgeons with an extremely low profile plate (1mm thick) that can be easily contoured, and has many screw placement options.
	The Standard Plate Design provides surgeons with a strong plate that can easily be contoured to the superior surface of the calcaneus.
	Efficient T7 or T10 Screw Head Design encourages efficient force transmission from the screwdriver blade to the screw, and reduces the risk of screw head stripping.
	Oval Compression Holes allow for Compression and Locking in One-Step.  As a screw is inserted and tightened into these holes, compression can be achieved, and if a locking screw is used, the screw can then be locked in a single step.
	Deluxe or Basic Configurations.  The Deluxe configuration contains every implant design, while the Basic configuration includes a selection of plates most commonly needed for foot surgery. Modular Instrument Platform, designed for seamless integration with other products in the Stryker Foot Solutions portfolio. Color Coding of Instruments to facilitate ease-of-use during surgery.
