Precision Engineering for Reliable FixationMachined to a precision tolerance of less than 0.01mm, the 4.5mm Malleolar screw ensures an optimal fit for bone fixation in surgical procedures. Its high torque resistance and single-slot design allow for secure, straightforward placement by orthopedic surgeons, reducing implantation time and enhancing procedural outcomes.
Sterile, Safe, and Ready for UseEach screw is supplied in a fully sterile blister pack, treated via gamma radiation or ETO sterilization for patient safety. With a 5-year shelf life and strict manufacturing standards, users are assured of optimal performance and minimal infection risk for every implant.
Versatile Application and Imaging SupportPerfect for both distal and lateral malleolus fractures, the screws fully radiopaque construction facilitates easy visualization during intraoperative imaging. Stainless steel and titanium options provide corrosion resistance and compatibility with various patient needs, ensuring robust, lasting fixation.
FAQs of 4.5mm Malleolar screw (1.075mm pinch):
Q: How is the 4.5mm Malleolar screw used during orthopedic procedures?
A: The screw is manually inserted into the distal or lateral malleolus during surgery using compatible instrumentation. Its self-tapping, single-slot design aids in secure fixation of bone fragments, supporting effective fracture healing.
Q: What materials are available for this screw, and why are they chosen?
A: This screw is manufactured from either medical-grade stainless steel or titanium. Both materials offer excellent biocompatibility, high strength, and superior corrosion resistance, making them ideal for orthopedic implants.
Q: When should the 4.5mm Malleolar screw be used?
A: It is specifically intended for fixation in cases of distal and lateral malleolus fractures, as determined necessary by a qualified surgeon during trauma or reconstructive procedures.
Q: Where should this screw be stored before use?
A: The screw must be kept in its original sterile blister packaging and stored in a dry, sterile environment to maintain sterility and prevent contamination or damage.
Q: What are the benefits of the screws fully radiopaque design?
A: Being fully radiopaque ensures the screw can be clearly visualized under X-ray or fluoroscopic imaging, assisting surgeons in accurate intraoperative placement and postoperative assessment.
Q: How does the slot and head design aid secure placement?
A: The hexagonal/slotted single-slot design offers secure engagement with surgical drivers, allowing precise torque transfer and reducing the risk of stripping or slipping during placement.
Q: What process ensures the screws sterility and safety for implantation?
A: Each screw is sterilized using either gamma radiation or ethylene oxide (ETO), then sealed in a sterile blister pack, ensuring it meets stringent CE safety and sterility requirements for implantable medical devices.
