Viper™ with VALT allows the surgeon to orient screws to best treat each unique patient, lag bone fragments for optimal fixation, and choose when to lock the screw to the plate for additional security.

The locking technology is in the head of the screw, not the plate. No more crossthreading screws or complex drill guides, just one easy to use system that allows the surgeon to focus
on the best treatment for each unique patient.

Why choose variable angle screws instead of fixed angle?

It puts the surgeon in control. No more adjusting the plate because a screw is in a fracture site
or articulating surface. The surgeon can angle screws to reach superior bone quality or secure loose fragments while avoiding articulating surfaces, leaving the plate in the optimal position.

Why choose Viper™ with VALT instead of other variable angle technologies?

The locking mechanism resides in the screw, not the plate, so the surgeon can lag bone fragments to achieve as much compression as desired before choosing to lock the screw. Competitive technologies lock as the screw engages the plate, creating the feel of resistance
but limiting the ability to compress bone fragments.

Viper™ with VALT makes it easy to treat distal radius fractures.

No complex drill guides or instrumentation. All that's needed is a driver and locking key. This allows the surgeon to focus on how to best treat each unique distal radius fracture.

The surgeon chooses when to lock by simply rotating the locking key 1/2 turn clockwise. An internal mechanism enlarges the screw head to engage the Viper™ plate. To unlock, rotate 1/2 turn counterclockwise.

When the VALT screw is unlocked, a surgeon can lag the bone and plate to create a rigid construct. When locked, the screw is protected from backing out and provides additional stability. This unique feature of Viper™ with VALT allows the surgeon to do it ALL (Angle, Lag, Lock).
