Oct 12, 2022 · Take a look at what a plate covers. Most minimalist plates will still result in a fatal shot if you cannot get to advanced care VERY soon.

Feb 17, 2017 · There is a standard sizing for SAPI and ESAPI plates, and I dont think 10"x12" is one of them.

Apr 17, 2017 · Unfortunately, after 10 weeks of waiting for the plates to come in, I found that there is too much vertical play in the carrier to keep the top of the plate at the sternal notch (see pic for vertical play). My options were to either get new plates in ESAPI 10.125” x 13.25” dimensions, or get a new carrier designed for 10"x12" plates.
