The implants in the INITIAL R Xpert range are dedicated to the fixation of fractures, osteotomies, and arthrodeses of the hand and forearm in adults.
Wrist fractures are among the most common fractures of the upper limb. To address the different types of fractures, Newclip Technics developed the Xpert Wrist range. By combining the Xpert Wrist implant offering with its expertise in single-use sterile kits, Newclip created INITIAL R Xpert to offer a solution suited to the emergency management of the most frequent wrist fractures.
For fragment-specific cases, two distinct and ready-to-use kits are available: one kit dedicated to instrumentation and one kit dedicated to implants, including screws and a plate size. More broadly, these kits come in 7 implant sizes dedicated to fragment-specific fixation to treat more complex distal radius and ulna fractures.
They enable surgeons and other healthcare professionals to reduce the time needed to manage cases. As a result, patient turnover in the operating room becomes more efficient, contributing to better overall utilization of the facility.

Our sterile solution: INITIAL R Xpert – Fragment Specific.
The INITIAL R Xpert – Fragment Specific kits include implants and instrumentation for wrist fractures.
The instrumentation kit includes a holding screwdriver, a length gauge, a quick-release drill bit, a threaded guide gauge, a polyaxial drilling guide, and K-wires. The implant kit includes one plate size and Ø2.4 mm screws (locked and non-locked).
This solution offers :
- Extra-narrow dorsomedial plate kits, size 2, asymmetric
- Dorsomedial plate kits, size 2, asymmetric
- Dorsolateral plate kits, size 2, asymmetric
- Radial column plate kits, size 2, asymmetric
- Laterodorsal radial column plate kits, size 2, asymmetric
- Distal ulna plate kits, size 1, asymmetric
- Distal ulna plate kits, size 2, asymmetric
A dedicated implant range has been designed to treat complex distal radius fractures, fragment by fragment:
- Dorsomedial plates (1 extra-narrow head size and 1 standard head size)
- Radial column plates (1 size)
- Dorsolateral plates (1 size)
- Laterodorsal radial column plates (1 size)
Distal ulna plates are offered in 2 sizes and provide a treatment solution for fractures of the head, neck, and distal ulna shaft:
-
Pre-contoured plates for anatomical fit
-
Polyaxial or monoaxial screw locking technologies
-
Locked oblong hole technology (patented)
-
Latero-anterior positioning ensured by an anterior tab
-
Hook for positioning on the ulnar styloid
-
Bending zones to achieve the desired fit if needed
