Our LeiLOX TPLO systems are suitable for dogs of all breeds, as well as cats.
The multiaxial locking screws can be inserted at a 90° angle or angled up to 12° in any direction, helping to protect critical structures such as the osteotomy gap and articular surfaces. Two compression holes provide strong compression across the osteotomy and support bone healing. LeiLOX TPLO implants are anatomically contoured, made from medical-grade stainless steel, and manufactured to high quality standards. The new TPLO Swing implants are made from titanium, offering enhanced biocompatibility, reduced weight, and lower sensitivity to temperature changes.
The LeiLOX TPLO system also allows for the simultaneous correction of medial patellar luxation. Using a dedicated instrument, the proximal fragment is precisely shifted medially before final fixation, following the proven principle of the RAPID Luxation System.
