A kit in the Initial S™ range comprises either a set of instruments or a set of instruments and implants (compression washers), which can only be used in orthopedic or trauma surgery, when fitting osteosynthesis screws marketed by Newclip Technics.
Newclip Technics has developed Initial S to facilitate patient flow management and reduce the time taken to treat them in the operating room. These single-use instrument kits allow the fitting of sterile screws (cannulated or non-cannulated)* used during foot surgeries.
The Initial S range is currently available in two sub-ranges: Initial S Foot and Initial S Evo depending on the screw format. Initial S Foot screws have a hexagonal format while Initial S Evo screws have a hexalobe format.
Initial S has 2 individual instrument kits for cannulated compression screws (Ø3.5 mm and Ø4.0 mm).
Initial S Evo has 3 individual instrument kits: 1 shared instrument kit for cannulated screws of Ø2.6 mm and Ø3.0 mm, 1 instrument kit for cannulated screws Ø2.25 mm and 1 instrument kit for chamfered screws Ø3.5 mm.
*The screws are not available in the Initial S kit; they are available separately in sterile single-unit packaging (S-box).
Ready when you are!
Our sterile solution: INITIAL S FOOT & S EVO.
The Initial S Evo kits for self-compressive cannulated screws each receive a quick-coupling drill bit, a 3-in-1 device, a snap-on handle, and pins. To facilitate use and storage, the instrumentation has been shared between the Ø 2.6 mm and Ø 3.00 mm screws, and a kit is dedicated to the Ø2.25 mm screws.
- Kit for Ø2.25 mm self-compressive cannulated screws (0.9 mm cannula – length from 12 to 34 mm)
- Kit for self-compression cannulated screws Ø2.6 mm (1.1 mm cannula – length from 10 to 34 mm) and Ø3.0 mm (1.1 mm cannula – length from 10 to 40 mm)
All three have hexalobe formats.
The screws are not available in the Initial S Foot kit; they are available separately in sterile single-unit packaging (S-box).
The Initial S Evo instrumentation kit for chamfered cannulated screws Ø3.5 mm includes a quick-coupling drill bit, a 3-in-1 device, a handle, and pins. This kit has been developed for:
- Self-compressive cannulated screws with chamfered head Ø3.5 mm (1.25 mm cannula – length from 20 to 60 mm)
The screws were developed specifically to treat bunions in percutaneous surgery using MICA technology in percutaneous surgery. They have a 45° bevel at the threaded head. The bevel will minimize the protrusion of the head once correctly indexed at the end of screwing.
As an option, it has a differential gauge for screws L50 to L60 mm.
These screws can be used in combination with the G•halva guide, a drill guide for percutaneous surgery on the forefoot.
The screws are not available in the Initial S kit; they are available separately in sterile single-unit packaging (S-box).
The Initial S Foot kit for Ø3.5 mm cannulated screws with head includes a quick-coupling drill bit, a 3-in-1 device, a double guide (for pin and drill bit), a snap-on handle, and pins. This kit has been developed for:
- Ø3.5 mm compressive screws – Ø1.25 cannula (length 14 to 50 mm)
A sterile compression washer is optional, which can be used in combination with these screws.
The screws are not available in the Initial S kit; they are available separately in sterile single-unit packaging (S-box).
The instrumentation kit for Ø4.0 mm compressive cannulated screws + washers includes a differential gauge, 2-in-1 device, a drill bit, a handle, pins, and compression washers. This kit has been developed for:
- compressive screws Ø4.0mm – cannula Ø1.4, short thread (length 26 to 70 mm)*
The screws are not available in the Initial S kit; they are available separately in sterile single-unit packaging (S-box).
The key features of the INITIAL S FOOT & S EVO kit.
- Evolution of hexagonal to hexalobe
- Shared instrumentation for Ø2.6 mm and Ø3.0 mm screws
- Limits the risks of infection and cross-contamination
- Eliminates cleaning, decontamination and sterilization costs (cost-effective solution)
- Guarantees the traceability of implants
- Saves time in the operating room as it is ready to use
- Optimizes storage space within the operating room
