Reflex Features and Benefits

• TMZF® Alloy 1 is a proprietary metal developed by Stryker.
• Variable-angle screws, coupled with the flexibility of the TMZF alloy, allow for construct settling after surgery and optimize load-sharing characteristics of the system.
• One-step locking ring, which is integrated into the plate design, expands to allow for the bone screw to pass through before contracting over the head to lock it in place. The ring eliminates the need for a secondary locking mechanism and streamlines the procedure.
• Graft viewing windows provide optimal endplate visualization and facilitate axial alignment of the plate.
