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...
