The implants in the Stand Alone Screws range are designed for adults with fractures and/or congenital, post-traumatic, or degenerative bone deformities.
Phalangeal and metacarpal fractures are the second and third most common fractures of the upper limb, after distal radius fractures. Specifically, they account for 40% of all upper limb fractures.
Neutralization screws provide a stable fixation solution for metacarpal and phalangeal fractures. They offer rigid stability, facilitate insertion, and enable early active range of motion for patients. Thanks to its minimally invasive nature, this technique reduces soft tissue damage and minimizes potential complications.
The INITIAL S InAxis sterile, single-use kit includes all the instruments necessary for trauma or orthopedic surgery when placing Newclip Technics screws for osteosynthesis.
An alternative treatment solution
for metacarpal and phalangeal fractures.
The INITIAL S InAxis Kit includes dedicated instrumentation for the insertion of neutralization screws, specifically designed for the fixation of metacarpal and phalangeal fractures. This instrumentation is shared between the two associated screw diameters.
Kit Composition :
- Ratcheting handle
- Screwdriver
- Length gauge
- Double guide
- Pins
Screw Features :
- Cannulated screws Ø1.3 mm to guide placement.
- Fully threaded screws to ensure neutralization.
-
Self-drilling and self-tapping screws: the screw tip and head are designed to facilitate insertion.
- Specific design: the screw diameter is progressive to maximize anchorage in the cortical bone and facilitate passage through the isthmus.
- The double threading allows for rapid screwing, ensuring surgical efficiency.
The screws are not included in the INITIAL S InAxis kit; they are available separately in sterile versions (S-box).
The key features of the INITIAL S INAXIS range.
- Two screw diameters: Ø3.0mm and Ø4.0mm.
- A shared instrumentation kit.
- Self-drilling and self-tapping cannulated screws.
- A minimally invasive approach.
- A sterile single-use format that:
- Reduces the risk of infections and cross-contamination.
- Eliminates costs associated with cleaning, decontamination, and sterilization (cost-effective solution).
- Ensures traceability of the implants.
- Provides time savings during surgery as it is ready to use.
- Optimizes storage space within the operating room.
