A golden retriever, 15 years old, female, 35kg,

was seen for a fracture, and X-rays suggested a long oblique fracture of the left femur. Intraoperatively, a BlueSAO HyProtect-PRCL® -11.5mm silver-ion antimicrobial bone plate with cephalic + lateral fixation. Her femur achieved good reduction. Best wishes for an early recovery.

Hyprotect silver ion antibacterial coating is a black technology from Bio-Gate, a German company, specializing in fracture types with high risk of infection (infected fracture repair, open fracture, etc.), which can continuously precipitate silver ions in the body for more than 100 days, with a long-lasting antimicrobial effect and an antimicrobial rate of 99.9%.

Thanks to Dr. Han Cheng (Technical Department of Beijing Quanxinquanyi Animal Hospital) for sharing the clinical case of BlueSAO HyProtect-PRCL silver-ion antimicrobial bone plates.
