TIGER HEADLESS CANNULATED SCREW SYSTEM

Product catalog summary
Product Overview:
The Tiger Headless Cannulated Screw System is a titanium alloy lag screw designed for orthopedic use. It features self-drilling and self-tapping capabilities, with a unique 'Tiger stripe' flute to enhance osteointegration and reduce insertion stress. The screw is available in diameters of 2.0mm, 2.4mm, and 3.0mm, with lengths ranging from 10mm to 34mm.

Key Features:
  • Tiger Stripe Flute: Channels bone particulate and increases implant-to-bone surface area.
  • Hexalobe Driver Head: Provides torsional strength with a tapered proximal shaft.
  • Multiple Cutting Edges: Enhances bite and cutting power, especially in dense cortical bone.
  • Radiused Proximal Edge: Facilitates insertion at acute angles.

Surgical Technique:
  1. Compression: Use a bone clamp to ensure compression across the osteotomy or fusion site.
  2. K-wire Insertion: Insert the K-wire to the correct length under image intensification.
  3. Measure Screw Length: Use the depth gauge to determine the appropriate screw length.
  4. Pre-drill Proximal Cortex: Recommended for dense bone or screws over 24mm.
  5. Screw Insertion: Slide the screw over the K-wire and drive it into the bone until desired compression is achieved.
  6. Remove K-wire: Discard the K-wire after insertion.

Additional Information:
All necessary instrumentation is included in the system. The product is FDA cleared and covered under U.S. Patent No. 9,387,028. It is manufactured by DJO, LLC, a company specializing in orthopedic implants. The document emphasizes that only qualified surgeons should determine appropriate treatments and that the information provided does not constitute professional advice.

TIGER HEADLESS CANNULATED SCREW SYSTEM-1

TIGER HEADLESS CANNULATED SCREW SYSTEM The Tiger Headless Cannulated Screw is a self-drilling, self-tapping, titanium alloy lag screw with the look, strength, and bite of a “Tiger”. CANNULATED SCREW FIXATION Tiger stripe flute intended to channel out bone particulate, increase implant-to-bone surface area for better osteointegration capabilities, and disperse insertion stress • Hexalobe driver head with incorporated tapered proximal shaft to add torsional strength at time of greatest need • Multiple cutting edges and augers to provide tremendous bite, cutting power, and ease of insertion in dense cortical bone • Radiused proximal edge to allow insertion of the majority of the trailing threads into cortical bone when implanted at acute angles • Offered in 2.0, 2.4, and 3.0mm diameters with lengths

TIGER HEADLESS CANNULATED SCREW SYSTEM SURGICAL TECHNIQUE STEP 1: Place a bone clamp to create the necessary compression across the osteotomy or fusion site (when applicable). Note: This step is very important if bone is very dense and in arthrodesis, as the axial force necessary for inserting the Tiger Headless Cannulated Screw could temporarily distract the fragments at the fracture/arthrodesis line. STEP 2: Insert the appropriately sized K-wire to the correct length under image intensification. Avoid bending the K-wire when placing into bone by inserting in 15mm - 20mm increments. STEP 3:...
