Bone Surgery DHS & DCS Plates Instrument Kit Set Trauma Surgical Locking Plate Orthopedic Instruments

The DHS DCS Instrument Kit is a complete veterinary orthopedic surgical set designed for the placement of Dynamic Hip Screw (DHS) and Dynamic Condylar Screw (DCS) plate systems in dogs and cats. 

Built from high-quality stainless steel, this trauma surgical instrument set includes every tool a veterinary surgeon needs to drill, tap, measure, and impact locking plate implants during hip, femur, and long-bone fracture repair procedures. 

Housed in a durable aluminium case, the kit is engineered for precision, repeat sterilisation, and reliable performance in pet orthopedic surgery.

Key Benefits of This Veterinary Trauma Instrument Set

• Complete surgical workflow in one kit drilling, tapping, depth measurement, angle guidance, and screw impaction tools are all included, reducing the need to source instruments separately.
• Purpose-built for DHS and DCS plate systems, two of the most widely used fixation methods in veterinary hip and femoral trauma surgery.
• High-quality stainless steel construction resists corrosion, withstands autoclave sterilisation, and holds precise tolerances over repeated use.
• Dual angle guides (95° and 135°) allow accurate screw trajectory for both DCS and DHS applications.
• Compact aluminium storage box keeps instruments organised, protected, and ready for surgical trays.
• Suitable for both dog and cat orthopedic cases, making it a versatile addition to any veterinary trauma surgery inventory.
