- All medium length screws (6mm, 8mm,
10mm, 12mm and 14mm) are partially threaded and tapered. These screws are
designed to secure bone blocks and as adjustable tenting screws. For bone blocks, the partially unthreaded
portion functions as a lag screw and provides intimate contact of the bone to
the host. Use a 2.0mm drill to drill
through the bone block. Blocks secured by fully threaded screws cannot achieve
this level of host adaptability without the thread binding to the block and
pulling away from the host.
- The tapered design on the medium length
screws also functions as an Adjustable Tenting Screw allowing the clinician to
adjust the height/direction from 1-2mm when used in tenting procedures.
Competitor tenting screws have a flat shelf in-between the threaded and
unthreaded portions which locks in the height of the tenting portion of the
screw. Our tapered design allows the
clinician to adjust the height of the “tent-pole” to suit the clinical
application.
- Additional longer fully threaded screws
are available in lengths of 15mm, 18mm, 21mm and 24mm for Vertical Vascular
Osteotomy Procedures.
