Publication number: 20230248402Abstract: A bone fixation plate comprises a main body formed of a first material and a support member formed of a second, different material and attached to the main body. The main body defines a first set of openings and the support member defines a second set of openings aligned with the first set of openings. For each opening of the first set of openings, a main body circumferential surface is disposed adjacent and continuous with a support member circumferential surface of the second set of openings to define an opening circumferential surface that bounds an opening of the first set of openings and an opening of the second set of openings.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 17, 2023Publication date: August 10, 2023Applicant: GLW, Inc.Inventors: Thomas Hoon Lee, Axel Cremer, Richard Garret Mauldin, Arley Perez, III, Jan Heinsohn
