Implants

The characteristics of Ti-Force Titanium Anchors are as follows:

Material and Biocompatibility: Made of high-purity titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V), they offer excellent biocompatibility, minimizing the risk of adverse reactions and promoting integration with surrounding tissues.

Design: They feature a fully threaded design (Full Thread Anchor), including a full thread covering the implant surface, which is designed for stronger fixation and greater stability.

Sutures: They are often pre-loaded with ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) sutures, offering high knot strength, ideal lubrication, and strong resistance to fraying.

Ease of Use: The design, particularly the very sharp tip, allows for insertion without tapping in most cases, although a drill can be used for hard bones.

Surgical Applications: Available in various sizes (e.g., 2.0 mm, 3.5 mm, 5.0 mm), they are suitable for various orthopedic procedures, such as hand surgery, Bankart and SLAP procedures, and rotator cuff repair.

Fixation Strength: The design and materials contribute to high pull-out strength, ensuring secure fixation of soft tissue or prosthetic material to bone.

Tibial suture disc
The tibial suture disc is an arthroscopic implant used during arthroscopic knee procedures, particularly anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions. It is designed to ensure secure fixation of grafts on the tibial surface of the knee joint. The disc is available in two configurations: one with a D-shaped hole and one with a round hole. Both configurations promote proper healing and reduce the risk of complications such as graft slippage or soft tissue irritation.

Specifications

• Fixation with 3 mm x 5.5 mm Rod
• Available in both Titanium and Stainless Steel

Features of the Locking Trochanteric Stabilization Plate for DHS (Dynamic Hip Screw) include:
Material and Construction: Typically constructed of high-quality stainless steel (ISO 5832-1) with a polished finish, providing high mechanical strength.
Anatomical Design: Its shape is designed to conform to the lateral aspect of the femur, reducing soft tissue irritation and surgical time.
Locking Holes: Includes polyaxial locking holes that accommodate locking screws to improve load distribution and rotational stability.
Optimized Holes: The number of holes is optimized based on the plate length without compromising mechanical strength, allowing for more fixation points with a minimal incision.
Rotation Prevention: The internal design prevents screw rotation within the tube and prevents rotation of the cephalic bone fragment.
Head Extension: Ensures proper lateral placement of greater trochanteric fracture fragments.
DHS Compatibility: Designed for use with DHS systems, stabilizing the greater trochanter and preventing lateral displacement of fracture fragments during impaction.
Angular Stability Benefits: Prevents screw loosening, improves reduction in osteoporotic bone, allows for the insertion of monocortical screws, and preserves bone blood supply.

Retraction for a Wide Range of Applications
MÜNSTER Retraction System

Universal, flexible, safe, and easy to use – the MÜNSTER Retraction System is based on a kit construction principle that offers the surgeon great flexibility. At the same time, it is easy to apply. The individual blades are adjusted using a special, easy-to-use ratchet mechanism.
The variety of different frames, clamps, rods, and retractors allows for an individually adjustable retraction system for urology, gynecology, visceral, and vascular surgery that meets the surgeon’s needs.

Vario Retractor System
Vario retractor system with integrated cold light for additional intensive illumination of deep and complex surgical fields.
Frankfurt Retraction System
The Frankfurt Mini-Retraction System is designed for thyroid and pediatric surgery. Two different frames are available. Carbotrac Retractors
Lighten your load – these retractors are made from a carbon fiber-reinforced polymer. Carbotrac retractors are lightweight and X-ray translucent. Stability is always assured.

The features of the Volary Locking Plate for Distal Radius Fractures include:

Anatomical Design and Low Profile: The plate is designed to conform to the anatomy of the distal radius, with a low profile to minimize soft tissue irritation.

Stable and Multi-Angle Fixation: It provides fixed or variable angle fixation, allowing for the stabilization of bone fragments in various configurations, including complex and osteoporotic fractures.

Material and Strength: These plates are generally made of biocompatible materials such as titanium, providing adequate strength and durability for bone fixation.

Multiple and Specific Holes: The plate features locking holes for angle-stable screws and oval holes for cortical screws, allowing for precise positioning and adjustments.

Surgical Use: Primarily used for the surgical treatment of complex intra-articular and extra-articular fractures of the distal radius, as well as for osteotomies.

Identification Markings: The plate may include markings such as “R” to indicate the side (right) and model/serial numbers, such as “Deffron 3 Hole ST240.003” shown in the image.

The Watson Trauma Instrument Kit has the following features:

Instrument Type: This is an orthopedic surgical instrument kit specifically designed for trauma, including instruments for general surgery and fractures (femoral, humeral, etc.).

Composition: The kit consists of various orthopedic surgical instruments, made from high-quality materials such as stainless steel for durability and corrosion resistance. It may include pins, retractors, plate trays, and other tools necessary for orthopedic procedures.

Organization and Sterilization: The instruments are neatly organized and presented in a perforated tray, facilitating access and maintaining a sterile surgical environment.

Applications: Ideal for a variety of orthopedic scenarios, including fracture repairs, reconstructions, and arthritis treatments.
Quality and Safety: Each part of the kit is subject to strict quality standards to ensure reliable performance and patient safety.
