CoLink PCR Plating System

Carbon fiber reinforced plating
Low-profile carbon fiber reinforced PEEK
MTP fusion plates in neutral and 4º dorsiflexion options
Reduced cold weld concerns
Invisible on X-ray

Optimized material properties
The CoLink® PCR1 Plates are engineered from carbon fiber reinforced PEEK, layered in alternating directions for enhanced properties resulting in high fatigue strength.
The orientation of the fibers is customized to enhance the performance of the CoLink® PCR plating system
The CoLink PCR plate has an increased fatigue strength which means that the implant can withstand a higher repetitive load, more than 2.5x higher than its Titanium Alloy counterpart, at the same number of loading cycles (steps).2
Radiolucent artifact-free imaging, with plates invisible on X-ray. Barium sulfate is added for slight visibility.

Earlier callus formation and return to function. A less stiff material produces greater callus formation3

Enhanced visualization of the healing site. Radiolucency and artifact-free imaging provides more accurate assessment during healing4

Easier revisions, when necessary. Reduced tissue adhesion and bone ongrowth with no cold welding of screws enables easier hardware removal3
