Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO) System
The DePuy Synthes Vet product portfolio includes a full line of Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO) implants and instrumentation designed to treat feline and canine patients across the broad spectrum of breeds, weights, and skeletal conformations.
The DePuy Synthes Vet TPLO plates are designed with proprietary locking technology, which has been shown to maintain reduction more effectively than conventional screws and non-locking TPLO plates1.
Features & Benefits
Implants offered in multiple sizes
A full range of patented plate designs that suit the full breadth of patient populations. Includes:
- 2.0mm
- 2.4mm
- 2.7mm
- 3.5mm Small
- 3.5mm
- 3.5mm Broad
Anatomically pre-contoured implants with targeted locking screw trajectories
Ensures the proximal fragment is precisely apposed to the tibial diaphysis, mitigating the risk of intra-articlular screw placement.2
Proprietary Locking Technology
- Shown to maintain reduction more effectively than conventional screws and non-locking TPLO plates1
- Protects against “rock-back”3
Biologically favorable TPLO Saw Blades
- Up to 64% less heat generation, with 45% less time above necrotic temperature limit4
- Up to 63% higher cutting rate4
Patented TPLO Jig and Saw Guide System
- Significantly improved accuracy and precision of the osteotomy5,6
- Reduced likelihood of iatrogenic damage to the medial cortex when initiating the osteotomy6
