TTA Rapid Cortical Self-tapping Titanium Screws
Description
Available in Hex and Stardrive Heads
Star Drive - The interface between the screw head and screwdriver is significantly stronger and the stripping of screw heads is consequently much rarer. The tip of the screwdriver is tapered and ‘picks up’ the screws without the requirement for a screw holding sleeve. Many surgeons do not possess the relevant Star Drive Screwdrivers so we are pleased to offer modular handles.
Titanium Screws and Plates are very commonly used in man, particularly for maxillofacial repairs. The most important benefit in this application is that Titanium does not interfere with MRI scans. Compared to stainless steel Titanium is lighter and much more osteo compatible. The major application in veterinary orthopaedics is in conjunction
with the TTA Rapid and CBLO cruciate procedures.
