Dyna International’s Veterinary 2.0mm Locking Mini Straight Bridge Plates 5-10H & Screws 73 Pcs Set plates are used in veterinary orthopedic surgery for stabilizing fractures or addressing other skeletal issues in animals. This refers to the diameter of the screws that are used with the plate. In this case, 2.0mm locking indicates that the screws that accompany the plate have a diameter of 2.0mm. These are specific types of plates used in orthopedic surgery. “Mini” implies that they are smaller in size, and “straight bridge” suggests that they are designed to bridge and stabilize fractures or gaps in a straight line. These locking plates are often used in veterinary medicine to provide stability in fractures and promote the healing process. The locking feature helps to secure the plate in place, providing a more rigid construct.
