The Integra® DigiFuse® Implant is a one-piece threaded device constructed from implant grade titanium alloy, intended to be implanted into the medullary bone for the fixation of osteotomies and reconstruction of the lesser phalanges during procedures to correct deformities of the toes and fingers.
"A small, non-sterile, threaded rod with a slotted head typically used for internal orthopaedic fracture fixation by being screwed into bone to hold plates or nails to bone or to provide direct interfragmentary stabilization of bone, or it may fasten soft tissue to bone; it is made of a material that cannot be chemically degraded or absorbed via natural body processes (includes implant grade metal such as surgical steel, titanium alloy, or carbon fibre). Screws available are: cortical, cancellous, malleolar, scaphoid, partially-threaded and fully-threaded, self-tapping, and cannulated. A ""lag screw"" can be any of these used to obtain compression. This device must be sterilized prior to use."
