The distal radius is the highest-volume plating site in the upper limb, and it anchors any wrist and hand range. The stock on this page is built around it: DVR anatomic volar locking plates in a full spread of head widths and lengths, low-profile volar plates, volar-radial and dorsal locking plates, radial styloid plates, and scaphoid plates, with matching screws for each system.
BoneCraft is an independent distributor of genuine Zimmer Biomet products. The DVR plate line we supply is original Biomet stock, and every distal radius plate on this page carries full batch traceability. Wholesale terms apply to hospitals, regional distributors and purchasing groups, with left and right versions held across the range so orders are filled complete rather than substituted.

As an independent distributor with 2,800+ SKUs in stock, we supply genuine, FDA-cleared and CE-marked trauma implants at wholesale prices — every unit factory-packaged, lot-traceable and ready to ship worldwide.
The range is built around the distal radius: DVR anatomic volar locking plates in standard, narrow, short, wide-head and extended versions, low-profile volar plates, volar-radial locking plates, dorsal T and triangular locking plates, radial styloid plates and scaphoid plates. Matching locking and cortex screws are supplied with each system, so a complete wrist set ships from one consignment.
DVR stands for distal volar radius, the anatomic volar locking plate family originally developed by Biomet. Surgeons ask for it by name because the plate shape follows the volar anatomy of the distal radius, the head supports the subchondral bone under the joint surface, and the fixed-angle screws hold small fragments that conventional plates cannot. We supply the genuine original product, and the name appears regularly in tender specifications.
The two approaches fix the fracture from opposite sides of the bone. Volar plating is placed on the palm side and has become the standard for most distal radius fractures, because the approach is gentle on soft tissue and the locking head supports the joint surface from below. Dorsal plating is placed on the back of the wrist and suits specific patterns where the main displacement is dorsal. The choice belongs to the operating surgeon, based on the fracture pattern.
BoneCraft is an independent distributor of genuine Zimmer Biomet products, and every plate we ship is original factory stock. Each order carries batch and lot traceability, original labeling and packaging, and the export documentation your import process requires. Tender reviews and regulatory filings check proof of origin line by line, and our paperwork is prepared for exactly that scrutiny.
Yes. The DVR range runs from narrow-short through extended versions in mirrored left and right sides, and the low-profile volar series covers five size options on each side. Distal radius anatomy varies widely between patients, so head width and plate length options are the first thing to confirm with any supplier in this category.
Yes, mixed consignments are routine. Wrist plates combine with their matching screws, and buyers building an upper-limb line often add elbow plates to the same shipment. Stocked items dispatch quickly, and lead time for larger or non-stock configurations is confirmed with the quotation against your list.
The distal radius generates more plating volume than any other site in the upper limb, and it is also the category where product naming, system loyalty and documentation decide the order. The notes below reflect how this market actually buys.
Two decades ago the distal radius was plated from whichever side the surgeon preferred. Today the volar locking plate accounts for the large majority of distal radius fixation worldwide. The reasons are mechanical and practical: the fixed-angle screw head locks into the plate, the distal screws sit just under the subchondral bone and buttress the joint surface, and the volar approach leaves the extensor tendons undisturbed. For a wholesaler this means one thing: the volar locking line is the turnover core of the category, and its depth in sizes and sides determines whether an account can rely on you for routine replenishment.
DVR, short for distal volar radius, began as the Biomet product family name and became the generic shorthand surgeons use for anatomic volar plating. The term is searched hundreds of times a month, appears in tender specifications by name, and has no true generic equivalent. Buyers searching it are not browsing; they know the system and are looking for a source. We supply the genuine original DVR plates, which is the only version that satisfies a tender line that names the system.
Distal radius anatomy varies widely: small-framed patients need narrow heads and short plates, while fractures extending into the shaft need extended versions. A plate that sits too wide or too distal irritates the flexor tendons, and a plate that is too short leaves the fracture zone unsupported. Surgeons therefore specify head width and length, and they expect the supplier to hold narrow, short, standard, wide-head and extended versions in both sides. Our DVR stock covers that spread, with low-profile volar options where soft tissue cover is the concern.
Volar plating covers most cases, but an account that only stocks volar plates loses the rest of the procedure mix. Dorsal T and triangular locking plates serve dorsally displaced patterns, radial styloid plates address isolated styloid fractures, and scaphoid plates cover the most problematic carpal fracture. The table below summarizes how the range splits by fixation approach.
| APPROACH | PLATES | ROLE IN THE RANGE |
|---|---|---|
| Volar | DVR anatomic, low-profile volar, volar-radial | Turnover core, routine distal radius fixation |
| Dorsal | Dorsal T-plate, dorsal triangular | Dorsally displaced patterns, surgeon preference cases |
| Specialty | Radial styloid, scaphoid | Isolated fractures, completes the wrist account |
Upper-limb implants pass the same tender and regulatory checks as any implant, and named systems like DVR draw the closest scrutiny of origin. Every shipment from BoneCraft carries batch traceability back to the original Zimmer Biomet production lot, original labeling, and the export documents for customs and tender review. Wrist plates combine with matching screws and with elbow lines in one consignment, so a regional distributor covers the upper limb from a single order with documentation issued per shipment.
