Headless Compression Screws are type 2 anodized titanium for increased strength over stainless steel and color anodized titanium in fatigue strength. The fully threaded Headless screws allows engagement of threads throughout the osteotomy for additional purchase. 

  • Small 0.9mm diameter cobalt chrome k-wire allows for smaller inner core screw diameter designed to maximize thread purchase

  • T7 Hexalobe screw head and driver design are intended for optimal screw insertion

  • Dual thread pitch and tapered threads distal to the head designed for gradual beginning of compression 

  • Fully threaded screw allows for engagement of threads throughout the osteotomy in cancellous as well as cortical bone

  • Four cutting edges on the distal tip of the screw for efficient insertion

  • Partially threaded 2.5mm screws from 28-40mm lengths for POP or DIP arthrodesis

  • Type 2 anodized titanium for increased fatigue strength over stainless steel and color anodized titanium 

Twist-Off Screws

The Twist-Off screws are color anodized titanium and designed for direct connection to a drill and to twist off cleanly with the screw head contacts the near cortex.

  • Long shaft length allowing for use with pin drivers

  • 3-point head engagement with screw driver designed for stable driving and removal of screw
