An implantable apparatus (10) for attaching bone fragments in a bone fracture reduction procedure comprises a bone affixation plate (12) and a polymeric applicator (18) having a deflectable portion (22) that is deflectable to engage a portion (16) of the plate to attach the applicator to the plate. The applicator (18) is thereafter deflectable to disengage from the portion (16) of the plate (12) to remove the applicator from the plate. The applicator (18), when attached to the plate (12), enables the plate to be handled and manipulated during the bone fracture reduction procedure. The applicator (18) may includes information (24) for identifying the plate (12).
