PHP – Polarus Humeral Plate

Introduction

With the Polarus PHP Locking Proximal Humeral Plate, Acumed has designed an advanced solution for repairing fractures of the proximal humerus. The plate and instrumentation contain numerous features that help to maximize surgical outcome and address the issues faced with other plating system.

The desing and placement of the Polarus PHP minimizes impingement and soft tissue irritation for the patient. When designing the Polarus PHP, Acumed recognized that the humeral anatomy differs from patient to patient.

 

Acumed´s goal was to design a plate that incorporated a locking construct with an anatomical size and contour that best accommodates the patient.

The Polarus PHP Locking Proximal Humeral Plate features a unique proximal screw trajectory to maximize fixation in the humeral head. When determining the placement and trajectory of the screws, Acumed´s goal was to capture the best bone available in the humeral head for maximum stability and pull-out strength.

Key Features and Benefits

Acumed´s unique instrumentation is designed to improve the overall surgical technique and maximize surgical outcome. The instrumentation system gives the surgeon a comprehensive set of instruments to implant the plate. The system features a number of clamps, retractors, and soft tissue protectors, in addition to the drivers, drills and targeting device. Acumed´s goal is to have one self-contained kit with everything needed for a case, eliminating the hassle of opening other instrumentation sets for additional components.
