SECUROS prides itself on producing the highest quality implants and instrumentation available today. Our implants are made of the highest grade 316LVM German implant stainless steel. Used extensively in trauma, our implants have a long tradition of clinical success. ASTM FI38-03 and ISO 5832-I material standards provide rigid specifications, defining the chemical composition, micro-structural characteristics and mechanical properties of implant-quality stainless steel. The material used for all SECUROS plates and screws meet these strict standards. SECUROS uses an independent metallurgical laboratory to analyze and certify that all material from our supplier conform to these standards. ASTM FI38-03 and ISO 5832-I specifications are so strict that there are relatively few material suppliers who provide stainless steel which meet these guidelines.
The SECUROS plates are tested to determine their surface hardness – an indicator of the material’s strength. The dimensions of SECUROS screws are based on ISO specifications which define the sizes and tolerances of many of the screws’ features that have become the accepted norm of clinical experience. These features illustrate our investment in quality control, to insure our customers use the highest quality implants available.
