Availability: InStock

Surgical bone plates are engineered through advanced computational modeling to ensure uniform load distribution across fracture sites. This structural optimization supports proper healing by minimizing uneven stress transfer that could compromise fixation stability.

Material Specification

Titanium 6Al-4V ELI (ASTM F136), Stainless Steel 316LVM (ASTM F138)

Dimensional Tolerance

±0.05mm (Critical Features), ±0.1mm (Overall Profile), Thickness – ±0.02mm

Surface Finish

Ra ≤0.4µm (Contact Surfaces), Ra ≤0.8µm (Non-Critical), Mirror Polish (Optional, Ra ≤0.1µm)

Hole Position & Diameter

±0.03mm (Hole Position), Ø2.0–5.0mm (H7 Tolerance), Countersink Angle: 82°±1°

Thread Specifications

Self-Tapping (ISO 5835), M2–M6 (ISO 5835-1), Thread Pitch – ±0.01mm

Product Description

Using non-linear Finite Element Analysis (FEA), multi-axial loading conditions—such as torsion, axial compression, and bending—are simulated to identify and eliminate stress concentration zones. This approach enhances the plate’s mechanical durability, making it suitable for demanding orthopedic reconstructions, especially in long bone applications.

Flatness & Straightness

≤0.05mm/m (Flatness), ≤0.02mm (Straightness Over 100mm)

Edge & Corner Radii

0.1–0.3mm (All Edges), No Sharp Corners (Per ISO 14602)

Deburring & Chamfering

Burr-Free (ISO 13715), 0.2mm x 45° Chamfer (All Holes & Edges)

Heat Treatment

Solution Treated & Aged (Ti-6Al-4V, per ASTM F1472), Stress-Relieved (SS 316LVM, per ASTM F138)

Surface Coating/Passivation

Anodized (Ti, ASTM F86), Passivated (SS, ASTM A967), Hydroxyapatite Coating (Optional, ASTM F1185)

Technical Advantages

Material selection prioritizes titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V ELI and vacuum-melted 316LVM stainless steel due to their superior resistance to micro-crack initiation under cyclic fatigue conditions. These alloys offer high strength-to-weight ratios and an elastic modulus closer to cortical bone, reducing stress shielding and promoting physiological load transfer. Controlled grain structure and absence of non-metallic inclusions further enhance long-term mechanical stability under dynamic loading.

Electrochemical polishing and passivation treatments are applied to achieve nanometric surface smoothness and stable oxide layer formation. This prevents galvanic coupling, pitting corrosion, and fretting wear when implanted in varying pH environments. High-purity processing protocols eliminate sulfur and carbon residues, ensuring compliance with ASTM F86 and ISO 5832-1 for corrosion resistance in permanent implants.

Industry Applications

Long Bone Fracture Fixation

Used for diaphyseal stabilization in femur, tibia, and humerus under high axial and bending load conditions.

Periarticular Fracture Management

Supports joint-sparing fixation in distal femur, proximal tibia, and distal radius with precise anatomic contouring.

Osteoporotic Bone Repair

Facilitates rigid fixation in low-density bone using locking mechanisms to prevent screw loosening and implant migration.

Segmental Bone Defect Reconstruction

Employed in bridging large cortical voids post-trauma or tumor resection with load-sharing plate configurations.

Corrective Osteotomies

Used in angular deformity corrections by enabling controlled bone segment repositioning and maintaining mechanical alignment.

Pediatric Fracture Fixation

Applies in growth plate-sparing techniques using low-profile plates designed for immature bone morphology and vascular preservation.

Threaded Interface Engineering for Enhanced Locking Stability

Locking plate systems feature conically threaded screw holes with precision-machined angles to ensure uniform torque distribution and prevent cross-threading. This preserves the plate’s structural integrity and maintains locking performance under multi-directional biomechanical loads.

Each plate design is derived from CT-based anatomical datasets, enabling bone-specific curvature and profile adaptations. This minimizes intraoperative contouring, preserving the mechanical integrity of the implant and reducing cold working artifacts.

Having Doubts? Our FAQ

Check all our Frequently Asked Question

How does Frigate ensure consistent hole alignment tolerance in multi-hole bone plates?

Frigate uses high-precision CNC machining to maintain strict positional tolerances for multiple screw holes. Surgical bone plates is inspected using coordinate measuring machines (CMM) to verify alignment accuracy. This ensures compatibility with orthopedic screw systems during surgery. Consistent hole spacing helps reduce intraoperative adjustments and improves fixation reliability.

What surface treatment methods does Frigate apply to reduce plate-induced inflammation?

Frigate applies anodization and passivation processes to titanium and stainless-steel surgical bone plates. These treatments remove surface contaminants and enhance biocompatibility. Micro-texturing is also used to reduce soft-tissue irritation. All treated plates undergo cytotoxicity testing under ISO 10993-5 standards.

How does Frigate control residual stresses during bone plate manufacturing?

Frigate uses stress-relieving heat treatment after forming or CNC machining processes. This minimizes internal stress concentrations that could cause fatigue cracks. Residual stress levels are verified using X-ray diffraction methods. The process enhances long-term durability under cyclic loading conditions.

Can Frigate manufacture patient-specific bone plates using anatomical CT data?

Frigate supports CAD modeling directly from patient CT or MRI scan data. The team uses reverse engineering to create customized plate geometries. Surgical bone plates are 3D-printed in titanium or machined from forged blanks. Custom implants improve fit and reduce the need for intraoperative contouring.

What quality inspection methods does Frigate use for verifying thread integrity in locking plate holes?

Frigate performs go/no-go gauge testing for every locking hole to ensure thread compatibility. Optical inspection systems detect burrs or deformations in tapped threads. Micro-Vickers hardness tests verify material hardness near the threaded regions. This ensures consistent engagement with locking screws under load.
