clavicle plate
The clavicle plate is a medical device designed to offer support and stabilization to the collarbone, or clavicle, following fractures or surgical procedures. Its main functions include maintaining the alignment of the bone, reducing the risk of further injury, and facilitating faster healing. Technologically advanced, the clavicle plate is typically made from biocompatible materials like titanium, which are not only strong and durable but also resistant to corrosion and able to meld with the body's own bone tissue over time. The plate's design allows for anatomic fit and variable screw placement, accommodating different patient anatomies and injury patterns. In medical applications, it is commonly used in orthopedic surgeries, particularly for the treatment of clavicle fractures, ensuring that patients can return to their daily activities with reduced discomfort and improved recovery times.
