The LARGE UNI-CLIP STAPLE is a staple so that, by widening the diamond shaped opening, mechanical deformation leads to narrowing of the interaxis of the two legs. The surgeon can obtain a true compression, adjustable and controlled with many choice of size (20mm or 25mm interaxis and lengths vary from 20 to 32mm). The LARGE UNI-CLIP STAPLE is made from Stainless Steel and it is indicated for fixation of bone fractures or for bone reconstruction. It is delivered sterile.
A non-bioabsorbable, implantable device designed to be inserted into fractured bone to achieve fixation and repair; the device may also be used to attach/secure structures (e.g., ligaments/tendons) to bone, or to reduce/cease bone growth in skeletal deformities (e.g., by being implanted across epiphysial cartilage). It is typically a curved or U-shaped device made of metal alloy material, and is not adjustable after it has been applied. Guides for drilling integrated into the handle of the staple and disposable devices associated with implantation may be included.
