Interference Screw

Product Details:

1. Material:

   • PEEK (Polyether Ether Ketone): Medical-grade, radiolucent, biocompatible, and durable.

2. Dimensions:

   • Diameter: Available in multiple sizes (typically 6 mm to 12 mm).
   • Length: Ranges from 20 mm to 40 mm, depending on the surgical application.

3. Design:

   • Fully threaded or partially threaded options.
   • Cannulated structure for easy guide wire placement.
   • Self-tapping threads for precise and secure fixation.

4. Sterilization:

   • Supplied in pre-sterilized packaging or ready for autoclave sterilization.

5. Mechanical Properties:

   • High tensile strength.
   • Excellent fatigue resistance.
   • Comparable modulus to human bone, reducing stress shielding.

6. Radiolucency:

   • Allows clear post-operative imaging without artifact interference.

7. Compliance:

   • ISO 13485:2016 and CE-certified.
   • FDA-compliant material for global export.
   • Advantages:

   • Biocompatibility:

     • PEEK is inert, ensuring no adverse reactions or corrosion in the body.

   • Radiolucency:

     • Provides clear imaging during and after surgery, aiding in accurate post-operative assessments.

   • Optimal Load Sharing:

     • The modulus of elasticity closely matches human cortical bone, minimizing stress shielding and promoting natural healing.

   • Durability:

     • Resistant to mechanical fatigue, making it reliable for long-term use.

   • Ease of Use:

     • Cannulated design simplifies placement using guide wires.
     • Self-tapping threads reduce the need for pre-drilling, saving surgical time.

   • Reduced Risk of Allergic Reactions:

     • Unlike metal implants, PEEK screws are non-reactive and suitable for patients with metal sensitivities.

   • Global Standards:

     • Manufactured under strict quality controls, ensuring safety and performance for international markets.
   Uses:

8. ACL Reconstruction:

   • PEEK screws are primarily used to fixate soft tissue grafts or bone-tendon-bone grafts in ACL reconstruction surgeries.

9. Ligament Repair:

   • Suitable for securing soft tissue grafts in other ligament repair procedures.

10. Knee and Shoulder Surgery:

    • Utilized in arthroscopic surgeries for the knee, shoulder, or other joints where secure graft fixation is essential.

11. Revision Surgeries:

    • Ideal for cases requiring replacements of metallic implants due to allergic reactions or other complications.

12. Sports Medicine Applications:

    • Commonly employed in high-demand patients, such as athletes, for durable and long-lasting results.
