GEMINUS®
volar plating system
Optimized subchondral support while minimizing the potential for soft tissue injury
Dual head design protects flexor tendons by providing the lowest profile at the watershed line1
Screw trajectories designed to provide optimal subchondral support
AIMing Guides are pre-inserted distal drill guides to confirm reduction and screw trajectories prior to screw insertion
Hook plate option allows extending fixation to secure volar marginal fragments
FREEFIX® technology allows the fracture to dictate screw placement
Both compression and locking screws can be inserted in any position in FREEFIX® slots
Patented horizontal thread pattern allows dynamic compression with locking screws
1.5mm of dynamic compression per slot
