By the course’s conclusion, participants should possess the ability to approach a long bone fracture, and competently apply a bone plate or IM pin to effectively stabilize the fracture. |
| About LeiLOX Locking Systems |
| The LeiLOX Locking Systems are 100% Made in Germany. These are specifically designed for dogs and cats and are suitable for a variety of applications: fractures of long bones, pelvic fractures, periarticular fractures, rod-plate constructs, Oral Maxillofacial, corrective osteotomies, and more can be treated with a variety of plates and screws from this system.
The LeiLOX 1.5/2.0 Micro Locking System was specifically developed for very small dogs and cats. The implants are made of the highest quality titanium, offering several advantages: Titanium provides excellent biocompatibility, minimal temperature sensitivity, low weight combined with high strength and rigidity. The LeiLOX 2.0-3.5 Stainless Steel Locking System is made of the highest quality surgical implant steel. Stainless Steel implants are designed to withstand high loads and forces, which is particularly necessary for large and giant breed patients. In addition, the multi-axial locking system allows for greater flexibility in fixation. |
