The 0.8mm maxillofacial mini plate is a pure titanium internal fixation system engineered for stable fractures of the midface and mandible. Combining a low-profile 0.8mm plate with Φ2.0mm titanium alloy screws, it delivers dependable skeletal stabilization across nasal, orbital, zygomatic, and maxillary regions. The system is color-coded, MRI/CT compatible, and designed for straightforward intraoperative adaptation.

Key Advantages and Design Details
The 0.8mm mini plate is manufactured from specially customized German ZAPP pure titanium, selected for its uniform grain size distribution, excellent biocompatibility, and non-magnetic properties. Because the material does not interfere with MRI or CT imaging, postoperative surveillance remains artifact-free—an important consideration in both trauma follow-up and oncological assessment.
Surface anodizing serves a dual purpose. It increases surface hardness and wear resistance while producing the color coding that distinguishes plate thicknesses at a glance. The 0.8mm series is identified by its Purple finish, allowing surgeons to select the correct profile without additional verification.
Plate holes feature a concave (sunken) design, so the screw head seats flush with the plate surface rather than protruding above it. This creates a tighter plate-screw integration and a lower overall incision profile, which reduces soft tissue irritation and palpability. Plate edges are rounded for the same reason—minimizing stimulation to the surrounding soft tissue, particularly in regions with thin coverage.
The matching Φ2.0mm screws are machined from medical-grade titanium alloy and offer several thoughtful design features: a conical right-angle driver interface for optimal torque transmission, a sloped conical head for reliable self-holding during placement, a reinforced screw root to resist breakage under torque, and an anti-pull angle thread profile for dependable pullout strength. Concentricity is tightly controlled so that each screw advances smoothly and seats predictably.
Plate geometries cover the fracture patterns encountered in daily practice: straight, straight bridge, arc, rectangle, 90° and 110° L-plates, double-Y, and 120° arc configurations. Locking and non-locking fixation options are both available, and locking mini plates are reversible—they can be used on either side without orientation concerns.

Maxillofacial Mini Plate 0.8mm — Titanium Fixation for Midface and Mandibular Trauma
Q1
What distinguishes the 0.8mm maxillofacial mini plate from the 0.6mm micro plate?
The 0.8mm mini plate is designed for slightly greater load demands than the 0.6mm micro plate. While the 0.6mm system is intended for the thinnest craniofacial regions and pediatric bone, the 0.8mm plate extends coverage to simple and stable mandibular trauma in addition to nasal, orbital, zygomatic, and maxillary fixation. Both are pure titanium and MRI/CT compatible, but the 0.8mm profile offers more rigidity where the clinical scenario calls for it.
Q2
Which screw types are compatible with this plate?
The 0.8mm mini plate accepts Φ2.0mm titanium alloy screws in self-drilling, self-tapping, and locking configurations.
Self-drilling screws cut directly into bone without a pilot hole, reducing operative steps. Self-tapping screws require a Φ1.6mm pilot hole and create their own thread path, which is preferred in denser bone. Locking screws thread into the plate itself to create a fixed-angle construct that resists loosening—useful in osteoporotic or compromised bone. All three types share the same SW0.5 cross-head screwdriver.
Q3
Is the locking mini plate reversible?
Yes. Locking maxillofacial mini plates have no top or bottom surface and can be used on either side. This reversible design simplifies inventory management while preserving the surgeon's ability to choose locking or non-locking fixation in the same hole.
Q4
Does the plate interfere with postoperative imaging?
No. The plates are made from German ZAPP pure titanium, which is non-magnetic and does not produce artifacts on MRI or CT scans. This allows clear postoperative imaging for trauma assessment or oncological follow-up without the implant obscuring the region of interest.
Q5
What drill bit and screwdriver are required?
A Φ1.6mm medical drill bit is used for pilot hole preparation, and an SW0.5 cross-head screwdriver is used for screw insertion. The screwdriver's self-hold design keeps the screw securely engaged during placement. A universal drill guide (Φ1.1/Φ1.6) and a 0–30mm depth gauge are recommended for accurate hole preparation and screw length selection.
