System 26 Cannulated Screw System
One screw system. All your fixation needs.
The System26 Foot and Ankle screw range has been configured to offer the clinician a comprehensive selection of screw types and sizes for forefoot, midfoot and hindfoot surgical procedures. The screw variants are cannulated and include headed and headless options
Not all screws are equal
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
System Features and Benefits
Self-Drilling & Self-Tapping
Flute tip formation ensures effective bone cutting and engagement. Screws ≤ 4.0mm diameter have 3 flute formation. Screws ≥ 4.0mm diameter have 4 tip formation
Torx Drive
Reduces risk of stripping screw head and maximises efficient screw insertion.
Headed and Headless Screw 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 & 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
Differential Thread Pitch
Headless screws maximise compression across the osteotomy site by utilising a differential thread pitch between the leading and trailing threads
Opposing Flank Angles
Opposing near vertical flank angles of the leading and trailing threads are designed to generate compression across the osteotomy site and resist pull out.
