About PEEK Interference Screw

Interference screws are used to fix grafts in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. PEEK is a popular material for interference screws because of its biocompatibility, strength, flexibility, and mechanical qualities.

Advanced Features

Non-absorbable, radiolucent, and MR safe
Rounded edge protects soft tissue grafts
Modulus of elasticity closely matches cortical bone
Distributes insertion torque and eliminates "driver capturei
Made of 6Al-4V ELI titanium alloy
Provides the strength and stiffness required for successful ligament reconstruction

Advanced Fixation for Ligament Reconstruction

Engineered for orthopedic excellence, the PEEK Interference Screw delivers robust fixation for ACL and PCL reconstructions, as well as other soft tissue repair procedures. Its precision-machined build and aggressive thread pattern provide secure anchorage, promoting graft stability during healing. Radiolucency ensures it does not obscure postoperative imaging, helping clinicians monitor recovery with ease.

Safety, Compliance, and Versatility

Manufactured from biocompatible PEEK and complying with ASTM F2026, the screw is gamma or EO sterilized for patient safety. Multiple size options cater to varied surgical requirements, and each screw is individually sterile packed to maintain integrity. Lightweight, silent in operation, and suitable for manual insertion, it seamlessly integrates into various orthopedic workflows.

FAQ's of PEEK Interference Screw:

Q: How is the PEEK Interference Screw used during orthopedic procedures?

A: The PEEK Interference Screw is manually inserted into a pre-drilled bone tunnel to secure tendon or ligament grafts during procedures like ACL or PCL reconstruction. Its self-tapping, aggressive thread allows for stable and precise fixation.

Q: What benefits does the radiolucency of the PEEK Interference Screw provide?

A: Radiolucency means the screw does not interfere with X-ray or MRI imaging, enabling clear post-operative assessments of graft positioning and healing, and facilitating ongoing patient evaluation.

Q: When should the PEEK Interference Screw be chosen over metal alternatives?

A: The screw is preferred when post-surgical imaging clarity, biocompatibility, and reduced risk of allergic reactions are important. Its MRI compatibility and high mechanical strength make it ideal for ligament reconstructions and other repairs requiring durable, inert fixation.

Q: Where can the PEEK Interference Screw be used in the body?

A: It is mainly indicated for use in knee ligament (such as ACL or PCL) reconstructions but may also be applied in other joints for various tendon or ligament repairs as per a surgeon's judgment.

Q: What is the sterilization process for this implant, and how should it be stored?

A: Each screw is sterilized using either gamma radiation or ethylene oxide, ensuring it is safe for implantation. It should be stored in its original sterile packaging, in a cool, dry place, and away from direct sunlight until usage.

Q: Does the PEEK Interference Screw interfere with MRI or CT scans?

A: No, the screw is MRI compatible and does not produce artifacts or block CT/X-ray imaging, allowing accurate clinical imaging post-operatively.

Q: What makes the thread profile of the PEEK Interference Screw advantageous?

A: The aggressive self-tapping thread profile ensures secure engagement with bone, minimizing micromotion and enhancing initial fixation strength for soft tissue grafts.
