A maxillofacial micro plate set is a comprehensive internal fixation kit designed for skeletal stabilization in the craniofacial region. The 0.6mm variant typically includes:

• Micro plates in multiple anatomical configurations: straight, arc, L-shaped, X-shaped, rectangular, T-shaped, Y-shaped, and double-Y plates
• Φ1.5mm titanium alloy screws in self-drilling or self-tapping options, with lengths ranging from 4mm to 8mm
• Matching instrumentation: Φ1.1mm medical drill bits and SW0.5 cross-head screwdrivers

The system is color-coded through anodizing technology, allowing surgeons to distinguish plate thicknesses at a glance—a subtle but significant intraoperative advantage.

The 0.6mm plate thickness is specifically indicated for frontal, nasal, orbital, zygomatic, maxillary, and pediatric craniofacial bone applications. Its ultra-low profile offers three distinct clinical benefits:

• Minimal soft tissue irritation: The thin design reduces palpability and discomfort, particularly important in areas with thin soft tissue coverage
• Pediatric suitability: Growing craniofacial bones require fixation that does not impede development; 0.6mm plates provide adequate stability without excessive bulk
• Precise adaptation: The thinner profile allows easier contouring to complex anatomical surfaces

Combined with concave hole design, the plate and screw integrate more tightly, creating a lower incision profile that further minimizes postoperative complications.

The Φ1.5mm screws are manufactured from imported medical-grade titanium alloy using Swiss CNC longitudinal cutting lathes, ensuring optimal hardness and flexibility. Key design features include:

• Innovative conical right-angle driver design: Ensures optimal moment and easy screw insertion
• Slope conical head design: Provides reliable self-hold appearance, preventing screw drop during placement
• Reinforced screw root: Effectively prevents screw breakage under torque
• Anti-pull angle thread design: Guarantees pullout strength and fixation stability
• Special concentricity control: Ensures smooth, effortless screwing

For locking micro plates, the Φ1.5mm locking screws will not loosen, guaranteeing stable fixation even in osteoporotic bone.

Yes. The plates are manufactured from specially customized German ZAPP pure titanium, which offers excellent biocompatibility and uniform grain size distribution. Crucially, this material does not affect MRI or CT examination, allowing postoperative imaging without artifact interference—a critical consideration for oncological follow-up and trauma assessment.

The anodizing surface treatment further enhances material hardness and wear resistance while providing the color-coding system that facilitates clinical operation.

Both screw types are available in Φ1.5mm diameter, but they serve different clinical scenarios:

• Self-drilling screws: Feature a sharp tip that cuts directly into bone without a pilot hole, reducing surgical steps and operative time. Ideal for stable cortical bone.
• Self-tapping screws: Require a pilot hole (Φ1.1mm drill bit) and create threads as they are inserted. Preferred in denser bone or when maximum thread engagement is desired.

Both types share the same SW0.5 cross-head screwdriver, and for locking plates, a dedicated locking screw option provides angular stability and prevents loosening.

The maxillofacial micro plate set (0.6mm/1.5mm) is indicated for:

• Frontal part fractures: Low-profile fixation in the forehead region
• Nasal part fractures: Precise stabilization of nasal bones
• Pars orbitalis (orbital region): Including orbital floor reconstruction when combined with anatomical orbital floor plates
• Pars zygomatica (zygomatic region): Cheekbone fixation
• Maxilla region: Upper jaw stabilization
• Pediatric craniofacial bone: The ultra-thin design is particularly advantageous in pediatric patients where bone growth is a concern

The reversible locking design (available in locking micro plates) allows the same plate to be used on either side, reducing inventory requirements while maintaining surgical flexibility.
