VariLoc Locking Compression Plate features include:
- Anatomical shape, low profile and blunt edges; no need to bend the plate
- Cannulated locking screw for optimal compression of intra-articular fractures
- Color coding for stock management and size identification
VariLoc will be introduced in a planned geographic pathway throughout 2016, beginning with China, Chile, Kenya, Pakistan, Lithuania, Greece, Poland, Turkey, Thailand and Vietnam. Additional markets are expected in coming months, pending local approvals, excluding the U.S.
