Implants of the Stand-Alone Screws range are intended for fractures fixation, osteotomies and arthrodeses of bones in adults, appropriate for the size of the device.
The Initial S™ single use sterile kits consist of a set of instruments or a set of instruments and implants (washers) to be used only in trauma or orthopaedic surgery, when Newclip Technics screws for osteosynthesis are fitted.
Phalangeal and metacarpal fractures are respectively the second and third most frequent upper limb fractures, after those of the distal radius. More specifically, they account for 40% of all upper limb fractures.
Neutralization screws provide a stable fixation solution for metacarpal and phalangeal fractures. Due to their minimally invasive nature, this technique minimizes soft-tissue damage and reduces potential complications. They offer rigid stability, allowing early restoration of mobility for patients.
An alternative treatment solution
for metacarpal fractures.
The INITIAL S Inaxis kit includes dedicated instrumentation for the insertion of neutralization screws specifically designed for the fixation of metacarpal fractures. This instrumentation is mutualized for the two associated screw diameters.
Kit composition :
- Quick-coupling handle
- Screwdriver
- Two drill bits
- Differential gauge (for diameter and length)
- Double guide
- Guide wires
Screw features :
- Two screw diameters: Ø3.0mm and Ø4.0mm
- Fully threaded screws with a constant pitch to ensure neutralization: non-compressive design to avoid shortening in transverse, oblique or spiral fractures.
- Specific design for intramedullary fixation: the screw diameter is evolutive to maximize anchorage in the cortical and optimize filing of the isthmus.
- Self-drilling and self-tapping: the tip and head of the screw are designed to facilitates insertion.
- Double thread for fast screwing and improved surgical efficiency.
- Ø1.3 mm cannula for guided screw placement.
The screws are not included in the INITIAL S Inaxis kit, they are available separately in a sterile version (S-box).
The key features of the INITIAL S INAXIS range.
- Non-compressive design to avoid bone shortening
- Evolutive diameter to fit to the medullary canal
- Self-drilling and self-tapping cannulated screws for easy insertion
- Intuitive and mutualized instrumentation
- Minimally invasive technique
- A single-use sterile kit that:
- Limits the risk of infection and cross-contamination
- Eliminates cleaning, decontamination and sterilization costs for the healthcare facilities
- Provides immediate access to the material
- Reduces operative costs and perioperative time
- Ensures full implant traceability
- Optimizes storage space in the operating room
