The Capture Screw System is comprised of headless screws used for bone fixation of the hand and foot, following trauma or osteotomy. All screws are made from Titanium Alloy, and instrumentation is made from titanium and stainless steel. The headless screw is a cannulated, dual-thread headless bone screw which is offered in 2.5 and 3.0mm diameters with lengths of 10 – 34mm. The quick snap screw is a snap-off solid screw which is offered in 2.0mm and 2.7mm diameters with lengths of 8-22mm. The system includes instruments to facilitate the placement of the screws.
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.
