ThinFlap™: Keeping A Low Profile.

Anticipation and Innovation, the core principles driving Biomet Microfixation’sindustry leading strategy. Founded over thirty years ago by Walter Lorenz, Biomet Microfixation supports a wide range of surgical procedures throughour instrumentation, plating systems, and other related products.

In addition to our standard Neuro Plating System, Biomet Microfixation is proud to offer the ThinFlap™ Plating System. Half the profile of our standard plates, the ThinFlap system features an industry leading 0.3mm plate profile.The decreased profile reduces plate palpability and can significantly increase patient satisfaction1. When used with RapidFire technology, this system eliminates screw loading and provides the security of factory-loaded retention.

The ThinFlap plating system is available in both a conventional storagetray and SterileTrac™, our sterile packaged delivery system.
