Screw for Sterile Ligament Fixation

The commercial models that make up the Sterile Ligament Fixation Screw family are defined as fixation devices classified as surgically invasive medical products for long-term use.

The Sterile Ligament Fixation Screw was developed with the purpose of carrying out ACL Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction. It can be used on the distal femur and proximal tibia in the human body.

The surgical procedure known as Ligament Reconstruction, can be performed using conventional or arthroscopic surgical techniques, in which two types of autologous grafts can be used as a substitute for the injured ligament: patellar or semitendinosus and gracilis tendon, fixed with an interference screw at the tibial and femoral ends. Their measurements have diameters of 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 mm and lengths ranging from 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40 mm.

The screws are cannulated, whose purpose is to pass the guide wire, an instrument used to guide the surgeon during the surgical procedure. It has a rounded end and hexagonal fitting to which the key for inserting and fixing the screw is attached and the screw body is fully threaded.

The implants are ionized in different colors for better visual identification by the surgeon, which are: Ti Interference Screw ionized in yellow; Ti 2E Interference Screw ionized in brown; Ti PB Interference Screw ionized in blue; Ti PC Interference Screw ionized in lilac color and Ti PR Interference Screw ionized in graphite color.
