The 2.4S Mini Locking Plate is the most robust implant system within the mini-fragment category, designed for use in small bone fixation where maximum strength is required. With its 2.4mm screw size, it provides a significantly more rigid and stable fixation than smaller mini systems, making it the ideal choice for highly comminuted fractures, complex non-unions, and in areas subjected to high loads. The plate's low-profile design and fixed-angle locking screw technology work together to provide superior stability that is independent of bone quality. This system is crucial for treating the most challenging fractures in the hand, foot, and maxillofacial regions, promoting rapid bone healing and a swift return to function with minimal soft tissue irritation.
2.4S Mini Locking Plate
TOOLMED
Product Description
The 2.4mm screw size provides the highest pull-out strength and torsional rigidity in the mini-fragment category, making the system suitable for the most demanding applications in small bone and maxillofacial surgery.
The plate is designed to be small and thin, which is ideal for anatomical locations with minimal soft tissue coverage, reducing the risk of irritation and discomfort.
The locking screw-to-plate interface creates a rigid, fixed-angle construct that provides superior stability, essential for resisting forces on small bone fragments and promoting healing.
The locking technology prevents screws from loosening or pulling out, which is a significant advantage in areas with thin bone, such as the metacarpals, metatarsals, or facial bones.
Crafted from medical-grade Titanium, the implant offers exceptional strength, biocompatibility, and fatigue resistance for reliable, long-term fixation in high-stress areas.
The 2.4S Mini Locking Plate is indicated for the stable fixation of the most demanding fractures of the larger metacarpals and metatarsals, particularly in cases of severe comminution or high-energy trauma.
It is the preferred solution for complex maxillofacial trauma, including fractures of the mandible, mid-face, and zygoma that require the greatest possible rigidity for stable fixation and early mobilization.
The implant is also suitable for stabilizing bones after corrective osteotomies and for the treatment of non-unions in small bones where enhanced rigidity is a primary concern.

The 2.4S Mini Locking Plate is the most powerful implant within the mini-fragment category, designed for use in situations where a standard mini-plate would not provide sufficient stability. The "2.4S" refers to the 2.4mm screw diameter, which offers a significantly higher level of strength and rigidity compared to the 1.5mm and 2.0mm systems. It is designed for the most demanding applications in small bone and maxillofacial surgery, such as complex mandible fractures or comminuted fractures of the larger metacarpals. The system's primary purpose is to provide a rigid, fixed-angle construct that acts as a strong internal fixator, protecting the fracture site from all angles and ensuring predictable healing in high-stress environments.
The primary applications of the 2.4S Mini Locking Plate are in the fixation of complex fractures of the mandible and mid-face, where biting and chewing forces demand maximum strength. It is also used for fractures of the larger metacarpals and metatarsals in patients with high-energy trauma or where the fracture pattern is highly unstable. For maxillofacial surgeons, it is often the preferred choice for comminuted fractures or in cases of non-union where maximum rigidity is required. The system's ability to provide superior stability makes it an indispensable tool for achieving a successful long-term outcome in these challenging cases.
The 2.4S Mini Locking Plate offers several key advantages for small bone surgery. While still retaining a low-profile design to minimize soft tissue irritation, the 2.4mm system provides the greatest pull-out strength and torsional rigidity in the mini-fragment category. This makes it suitable for the most active patients and for fractures in the most load-bearing locations. The fixed-angle locking stability provides a very strong and secure fixation, even in comminuted or osteoporotic bone. This robust stability allows for early, controlled mobilization of the hand or foot, which is essential for preserving joint function and a faster return to daily activities.
The biomechanics of the 2.4S Mini Locking Plate are centered on providing a rigid, load-bearing construct with maximum strength. The 2.4mm locking screws create a fixed-angle unit with the plate, which is highly resistant to axial, bending, and torsional forces. This system acts as a strong internal fixator, protecting the fracture site and allowing the bone to heal in a low-stress environment. It is particularly effective at resisting the high loads on the mandible during mastication. The superior biomechanical stability ensures that the small joints are protected and that the fracture heals in the correct alignment, which is crucial for a successful long-term outcome.
The implantation of the 2.4S Mini Locking Plate requires careful preoperative planning and the use of fine surgical instruments. After the fracture is reduced, the surgeon positions the miniature plate on the bone. The use of a dedicated drill guide is essential for precise screw placement. The screws are then inserted and locked into the plate, creating the rigid fixed-angle construct. The procedure is designed to be streamlined, allowing the surgeon to achieve a secure fixation with as little soft tissue disruption as possible.
Following a successful fixation with this system, a structured postoperative care plan is initiated. Due to the high stability and strength of the implant, patients are often able to begin early, controlled range of motion exercises as prescribed by the surgeon. Physical therapy is a crucial component of recovery, focusing on restoring joint function and muscle strength. Regular clinical and radiographic follow-up appointments are essential to monitor fracture healing and ensure the implant remains stable throughout the recovery process.
The 2.4S Mini Locking Plate is an exceptionally effective and reliable solution for the treatment of complex small bone and maxillofacial fractures. Its innovative design, which combines a miniature low-profile shape with advanced locking technology and a larger screw size, provides surgeons with a powerful tool for achieving stable, customized fixation in the most demanding applications. By promoting high stability, anatomical reconstruction, and facilitating early patient mobility, the 2.4S Mini Locking Plate leads to excellent clinical outcomes and a restored quality of life for the patient.
The primary difference is the screw diameter: 1.5mm, 2.0mm, and 2.4mm, respectively. The larger the screw size, the greater the strength and rigidity of the implant. The 2.4S system is the most robust and is used for the most demanding applications, such as in the mandible, while the smaller systems are for more delicate bones.
This plate is used for fractures of the larger small bones, such as the metacarpals and metatarsals, and is a preferred solution for complex fractures of the mandible, zygoma, and mid-face where greater strength is required.
Small bones often have thin cortex, which can be easily damaged by a standard plate that relies on compression. A locking plate creates a fixed-angle construct that acts like an internal splint, providing stability without relying on bone quality and reducing the risk of screw loosening or pullout.
Yes. Although pre-shaped plates are available, the 2.4S Mini Locking Plate is designed to be malleable and can be carefully bent and contoured by the surgeon to perfectly match the patient's specific anatomy.
Recovery time varies depending on the fracture, but the stable fixation provided by the locking plate often allows for early, controlled motion of the affected area, which is essential for a good outcome and preventing joint stiffness.
