Pangea Design Variable Angle Locking Technology Pangea’s variable angle locking technology uses a CoCr locking screw, which is harder than the Ti6Al4V ELI plate, allowing for the screwhead’s threads to form a definitive locking position in the plate’s locking hole by engaging the softer, Ti6Al4V ELI material. This technology allows the user to aim and lock the screw into the plate within a true 30° cone of the predetermined hole trajectory. The variable angle drill guide provided with the system offers guidance with respect to the limit of the 30° cone. The locking mechanism remains functional for up to three attempts at locking screw insertion. Hybrid LC Holes (locking/compression) Hybrid LC Holes allow for either active compression with the use of a non-locking screw in the compression section of the hole or variable angle locking with the use of a locking screw in the universal section of the hole. If locking is not desired, the universal section of the hole also accepts non-locking screws. Each Hybrid LC Hole is designed to provide up to 2mm of compression. Note: Hybrid LC Holes are not available with every plate type. Refer to the “Plate details” page for additional information. Tapered End Designed for atraumatic submuscular insertion Cable Plug Compatible Holes Cable plugs accepted in any round screw hole and may be used in conjunction with a 2.0mm vitallium cable Staggered Screw Pattern Staggered screw hole trajectories in the diaphysis are designed to accommodate screw placement in the anterior and posterior cortex around an intramedullary nail or a prosthesis.
