Titanium Plating System (Ti.P.S.)

Animal Orthopaedics has developed the Titanium Plating System (Ti.P.S.), a revolutionary new system for the internal fixation of fractures and osteotomies in small animal patients.  Ti.P.S. uses color coded titanium plates and titanium alloy screws made to the highest standards of quality in the U.S.A.

Key Features:

• Ti.P.S. plates are made from commercially pure grade 4 titanium.  This unalloyed titanium is extremely resistant to corrosion and has superior biocompatibility compared to stainless steel.

• All Ti.P.S. plates are color anodized, which increases biocompatibility, and laser etched for identification and traceability.
  

• Ti.P.S. screws are manufactured from a titanium alloy that contains aluminum and vanadium (Eli grade).  The alloyed titanium used to make the screws has higher tensile and yield strength and is completely biocompatible with the Ti.P.S. plates.
  
  
  

The Ti.P.S. Color Chart is a quick reference guide that is easy to follow.

Select the appropriate plate size for the patient, and then match the corresponding screw, driver, drill and tap.

• The Ti.P.S. plates and screws are color coded for instant identification.  In addition, the appropriate drill, tap, and screw driver for each size screw is also color coded.  This unique color coding system simplifies the process of bone plating surgery and also makes it easier to inventory and replace implants used in surgery.

• Ti.P.S. was developed with input from board certified small animal surgeons and is designed specifically for the small animal orthopedic patient.
