Airlock MTP Fusion Plates
Airlock® MTP Fusion Plates
Optimized Plate Design for Strength and Precision
The Airlock® MTP Fusion Plates feature anatomic, procedure-specific designs with monoaxial and polyaxial screw options for foot osteotomies, fusions, and fractures. Flexible regions adapt to anatomic variations without compromising strength.

Standard & Short MTP Plates
The Airlock® MTP Fusion Plates feature a unique screw hole design, maintaining an overall thickness of less than 1.4 mm. With 0° dorsiflexion, the anatomic plates provide 15° of metatarsophalangeal dorsiflexion while preserving 10° of natural phalangeal valgus.
The linear ("non-clover") distal column design allows the plate to sit beneath the EHL tendon, minimizing the risk of post-operative infection or hardware protrusion by keeping it away from the surgical incision.
These low-profile plates are ideal for patients with thin tissue envelopes. The standard and long plates feature a proximal oblong hole for added fixation and compression.
Long (Revision) MTP Plate
The Airlock® MTP Fusion Plates are designed to minimize irritation to the soft tissue structures around the MTP joint, with tapered distal and proximal ends reducing thickness to 1.35 mm. For enhanced strength, the plate gradually thickens to 1.6 mm along the joint line.
The long plate features a porthole for graft insertion into the fusion site after the plate is secured. It also accommodates a Nexis® Snap-off screw to hold cancellous grafts in place.

Monoaxial & Polyaxial Capability
Monoaxial & Polyaxial Capability • Monoaxial Locking Screws • Polyaxial Non-locking Screws • Tapered Head • Self-tapping Design • Self-retaining Driver/Screw Interface
The Airlock® MTP Fusion Plates are compatible with 3.0 mm and 3.5 mm locking and non-locking screws in all fixation holes, except for the compression holes, which accommodate 3.0 mm non-locking screws. A Nexis® 4.0 mm headless compression screw of appropriate length may be used for additional plantar compression. All instrumentation is conveniently organized and color coded.
