BROCHURE - ARTHROTWIST

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document discusses the ARTHROTWIST bioabsorbable interference screw, designed for ligamentoplasty surgical techniques such as anterior-posterior cruciate ligament reconstructions, biceps tendon reinsertion, and ankle ligaments.

Specifications
The ARTHROTWIST screws are made from PLA (polylactic acid) and TCP (tricalcium phosphate) particles. PLA is known for its hydrolytic degradation, while TCP is osteoconductive, promoting bone ingrowth. The screws are radiotransparent and maintain a neutral pH during degradation, reducing inflammation risk.

Mechanical Properties
The screws are designed to reduce breakage risk with a triangular inner cone and rounded angles, enhancing torque resistance. They feature a sharp tip and double thread for efficient insertion, and a flat head to prevent tissue friction.

Resorption Profile
ARTHROTWIST screws are stable for 9 months post-operation, ensuring proper healing. They are fully replaced by new bone after 24 months.

Product Range
The screws are available in various diameters and lengths, suitable for current ligamentoplasty techniques. They are delivered double-packed in an aluminum pouch and sterilized by ethylene oxide.

Storage and Handling
ARTHROTWIST screws must be stored in their original unopened packaging in a clean, dry place at ambient temperature (maximum 25°C). They are single-use and should not be re-sterilized.

Instrumentation
The screws must be used with the specific screwdriver provided by VIMS.

Conclusion
ARTHROTWIST screws offer a comprehensive solution for ligamentoplasty procedures, ensuring secure fixation and promoting bone integration.

BROCHURE - ARTHROTWIST-3

HIGH TORQUE RESISTANCE ARTHROTWIST was designed to reduce the risk of breakage. The screws have a triangular inner cone with rounded angles. The transmission of the torgue is performed by compression and not in shearing mode. This increases the torgue failure resistance of ARTHROTWIST range in comparai-son with others absorbable screws. DOUBLE THREAD - FAST SCREWING ARTHROTWIST has a double thread that reduces the number of turns to introduce the screw in comparaison with single thread design. SELF-TAPPING ARTHROTWIST has a sharp tip combined to a double thread for a faster and efficient insertion....
