Z-Double Thread Compression Screw with Z-Speed Drive System Indication Internal fixation of bone fractures or osteotomies on feet and hands, arthrodesis of ankles and wrists as well as trauma surgery. Compression Inhalt Screws With development of the colour-coded Z-Double compression screw and the corresponding intelligent instruments Z- Medical® has specifically optimized all known problem areas of systems available on the market (insufficient compression area, insufficient adjustment possibilities and continuation of compression, unnecessary pre-drilling at normal bone density, large number...

Z-Double Thread Compression Screws cannulated 03/04 Lengths 10 to 36mm, graduated in 2mm steps Selfdrilling / selfcutting at regular bone density, optimized edges of thread for higher compression. Conical threaded front end with aggressive flanks for continuing compression. Optimal force transmission, self retaining drive, easier to re- implant through conical proximal Comparison compression lightly conical highly conical Highly conical Lightly conical Unlike its competitors, the thread flanks of both threads of the Z-Medical® screws are directed towards each other. This prevents fractures of...

Your benefits: - optimal availability by individual sterile packaging, 5 years durability - implants and packaging are colour coded - fewer operational steps and therefore shortened time of surgery - optimal adjustment of low- and high-compression through innovative design of the screw head - with the usage of our innovative implants and instruments there is no need to utilize elaborate sets of instruments meaning enormous cost savings in connection with your sterilization Your financial benefit: - with these cost savings the charges for the implants can be largely covered Z-Double Thread Compression...

Technical Guide 1. Preparation of the osteotomy with standard operation techniques 2. Feed in the guide wire until the desired depth is reached. If necessary adjust the depth and direction of the wire 3. Positioning of the screw driver on the guide wire and determination of the screw length 4. Pre-drilling with a step drill. The marking respectively the ledge indicates the ideal depth 6. Removal of the guide wire. The screw should be flush with the bone surface Compression Inhalt Screws 5. Positioning of the screw on the guide wire followed by the insertion of the former into the latter as well...

With the development of the Z-SnapOff screw and the corresponding innovative, navigated Z-Speed Drive Systems Z-Medical® has specifically optimized all known problem areas of systems available on the market (insufficient lateral stability, premature breaking-off, finding of the ideal point of insertion, insufficient force transmission by the drive, damage to tissue through the drive on the exterior, burrs at the breakage point, a sterilized set often must be opened for a single screw). This navigable system thus offers highest convenience, the opportunity of making smaller incisions in order...

Z-SnapOff Screw Ø2 11-14mm Titanium Optimized screw tip even for screwing obliquely, selfdrilling, selfcutting, big thread flanks for higher compression 7 times higher lateral stability allows a safe insertion even at a sloped bone surface, burr-free breakage of holding shaft Interior, self-holding drive for ideal force transmission and easier reimplantability Your benefits: - optimal availability by single sterile packaging, 5 years durability - implants and packaging are colour coded - no risk of damaging nearby nerves, blood vessels or soft tissue due to the interior drive - optimal lateral...

Z-Speed Drive System integrated scale Z-Speed Drive System for insertion with surgical machines Z-Speed Drive System for manual insertion Your benefits: - navigated safe positioning: therefore less x-ray-pictures for controlling required and thus lower exposure to radiation for patients and staff - navigable system for smaller incisions and better cosmetic results - fewer operational steps and therefore shortened time of surgery - with the usage of our innovative implants and instruments there is no need to utilize elaborate sets of instruments meaning enormous cost savings in connection with...

Technical Guide 2. Determination of the length, position and direction of the screw using the screw driver with the attached navigator upon the closure of the osteotomy 3. Positioning of the screw on the screw driver followed by the insertion of the former during which the navigator can be used as a counter torque wrench. Alternatively use C04 005 to applicate the screw with a surgical machine Z-SnapOff Screws 1. Preparation of the osteotomy with standard operation techniques. Minimally invasive incisions are possible 4. When the desired position is reached the shaft is broken off of the screw...
