Foot compression bone screw System26

anklecannulatedheadless

Cannulated and non cannulated bone fixation screws have been used successfully in a broad range of orthopaedic procedures for a number of years. They are technology stable devices, and as such, design improvements are incremental in nature. Notwithstanding the mature nature of bone screw technology, a combination of improved features and design enhancements mean that not all bone screws are necessarily created equal, especially when intended for use in specific orthopaedic sub specialty areas, such as extremity surgery. System26 has been designed to facilitate compression at the fusion site and offers self drilling and self tapping, headless and headed, screws from 2.0mm to 8.0mm in diameter, with cannulated and non cannulated options, in a range of lengths and thread variants. The comprehensive instrumentation and implant sets offer modularity and simplicity so that surgery can be carried out effectively and efficiently across a range of foot and ankle indications, with one system. Torx Drive Reduces risk of stripping screw head and maximises efficient screw insertion. Headed and Headless Options Headed and headless screw options are available to meet clinical preference. Headed screw incorporates a low profile head. Countersinks are also available for both screw options. Conical Neck and Forward Cutting Flutes Smooth tapered neck engages the proximal bone and augments reduction of the osteotomy and forward cutting flutes ensure effective self tapping minimising the risk of fracture of proximal cortex.
