PEEK Interference Screws - Radiolucent, Bio-Compatible for ACL/PCL Reconstruction

PEEK Interference Screws - Radiolucent, Bio-Compatible for ACL/PCL Reconstruction

PEEK Orthopedic Screws are high-performance medical implants widely used in the fields of orthopedics and sports medicine. They are primarily used for the fixation of soft tissues such as ligaments and tendons. With their excellent biocompatibility, mechanical properties, and surgical convenience, high-performance PEEK screws have become an important tool in orthopedics and sports medicine.

PEEK Interference Screw Features:

- PEEK material: It has excellent biocompatibility, effectively reducing adverse reactions between the implant and the surrounding tissues;

- Hexagonal slot drive hole: Provides greater torque transmission capacity, enhanced driving capability, and effective anti-slip performance;

- Upgraded thread design: Reduces cutting on the graft and offers higher fixation strength;

- Non-full-thread structure: Ensures secure compression and effectively reduces cutting on the graft.

Operating Instructions for PEEK Interference Screws:

1. Select the appropriate implantation site;

2. Drill a pilot hole/channel with the appropriate diameter;

3. Insert the ligament, tendon, or soft tissue into the pilot hole/channel and adjust according to the tendon;

4. Insert the appropriate screw into the prepared pilot hole. Rotate the screwdriver handle to drive the screw to the desired depth;

5. Remove the screwdriver from the screw.

FAQ:

Q1: What are the advantages of PEEK screws over metal screws?
A1: The core advantages of PEEK screws are their excellent biocompatibility and an elastic modulus that is similar to bone. This property reduces stress shielding and promotes healthy bone healing. Furthermore, PEEK material is radiolucent, meaning it does not create artifacts on X-rays, which greatly facilitates post-operative imaging evaluation by surgeons.

Q2: For which surgeries is this product indicated?
A2: This product is primarily indicated for the reconstruction and repair of knee ligaments, such as the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) and Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL).

Q3: Do I need a second surgery to remove the screw?
A3: No. PEEK material has excellent biocompatibility and stability and is designed for permanent implantation. Therefore, the product typically remains in the body permanently without the need for a second removal surgery.

Q4: How do I select the appropriate screw size for a patient?
A4: We offer a range of diameters and lengths. The surgeon must make the final selection based on the patient's anatomy, as well as the type and size of the graft being used.

Q5: What precautions should be taken during implantation?
A5: It is essential to use the dedicated instruments provided by the manufacturer during implantation. The surgeon should ensure the screw is aligned with the bone tunnel and insert it steadily, avoiding excessive force to prevent damage to the screw or the graft.
