A‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ 1.5MM T-PLATE is a tiny device that serves as an implant for repairing broken bones of the face and skull. The reason why it is called a T-plate is that its shape is like the letter T. This craniofacial T-plate aligns bone pieces in two separate directions. It's important because facial bones are thin and have curves. A maxillofacial plating system, this one provides the kinds of fixation that straight plates simply cannot.

Besides that, being 1.5MM T-PLATE, it has a very low profile that can help to avoid soft tissue ‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌irritation.

Low‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ Profile for Facial Bones:

The thickness of the 1.5MM T-PLATE is only 1.5mm. At such a low profile, it cannot be felt through the skin, even in the most delicate part of the face, or cause a visible bump. This is the exact reason why the craniofacial T-plate is to be so thin.

Two-Axis Fixation for Complex Patterns:

Usually, a craniofacial T-plate is required to fix a broken bone in two different directions. For example, a fracture along the orbital rim with a downward turn can be adequately fixed with one single 1.5MM T-PLATE. Using two plates in this case would be overkill. Thus, a good maxillofacial plating system should be able to support such a configuration.

Pure Titanium or Titanium Alloy:

Titanium remains the primary material for craniofacial T-plate. It is strong enough to hold facial bones, hypoallergenic to the vast majority of people, and, unlike stainless steel, can easily be scanned in CT or MRI without detection problems. So it's very unlikely that titanium causes allergic reactions since very few people are affected by it. The other factor that sets titanium apart from stainless steel is that this metal does not produce problems in CT data and MRI images. All in all, titanium meets all the requirements of a craniofacial plating material.

Contourable but Not Too Soft:
This makes titanium remain the first-class material for a craniofacial T-plate.

With this 1.5MM T-PLATE, you have a perfect blend of strength for your facial bones and the lowest possible risk of allergic reactions. Besides, titanium, unlike stainless steel, does not pose problems for CT or MRI scans. So, this 1.5MM T-PLATE is a trustworthy choice for long-term implantation.

Multiple Hole Options:
The number of screw holes varies at each segment of the plate. The horizontal segment has 3, and the vertical segment has 4 holes. So, this 3+4 arrangement.
This gives the surgeon some flexibility in screw placement, which is especially helpful when the fracture fragments are small or irregularly shaped. Any decent maxillofacial plating system should provide that kind of ‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌adaptability.

The‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ 1.5MM T-PLATE is mostly the choice in a few situations in clinics:

Orbital floor or rim reconstruction – this craniofacial T-plate is mainly used as a support plate or a rim buttress
Frontal bone (forehead) fracture fixation – a 1.5MM T-PLATE is a good choice if the fracture involves the frontal sinus
Zygomatic (cheek) fracture repair – a 1.5MM T-PLATE offers firm fixation along the infraorbital rim or lateral orbital wall
Naso‑orbital‑ethmoid (NOE) fractures – a craniofacial T-plate is frequently employed for reattaching the medial canthal tendon or stabilizing small fragments.
Mandible (chin) area fractures – adults with smaller bones in the symphyseal or parasymphyseal areas often get a 1.5MM T-PLATE as their first line of treatment.
Pediatric craniofacial fractures – children's bones are thinner, so a 1.5MM T-PLATE is sometimes more appropriate than the 2.0mm one.

This maxillofacial plating system is compatible with both locking screws and non-locking screws. Generally, locking screws are the first option on thin facial bones as they are less dependent on bone thickness for a firm fixation.
