Staple, Pins & Wires
The Staple provides a simple insertion method to gain rigid compression across an osteotomy site. The inserter allows for the staple to be elastically deformed while stored in the inserter and immediately returns to its original shape after it is released from the inserter in bone. The inserter allows the Staple to be completely seated before it is released from the inserter, allowing final placement of the staple before the staple fully compresses the osteotomy site.
Product Features:
- Staple is designed to achieve compression upon insertion.
- Barbed legs are designed to help resist migration and back-out during healing.
- No plastic deformation required to achieve compression.
- Low-profile contour and bowed bridge intended to distribute even compression.
Intended Use:
The Staple System implants are indicated for use in osteotomy, arthrodesis and fragment fixation of the bones and joints of the foot including fixation of small bone fragments (i.e. small fragments of bone which are not comminuted to the extent to preclude staple placement) located in the long bones of the lower extremities such as the fibula and tibia.
