Compression Screw
The characteristics of a compression screw, such as the DHS/DCS lag screw, are as follows:
Material: Generally made of surgical-grade stainless steel.
Design: Consists of a thread and a head, with a specific design to allow dynamic compression.
Function: Used to stabilize fractures, particularly proximal femoral fractures (dynamic hip screw or DHS) or distal femoral fractures (dynamic condylar screw or DCS), by allowing controlled sliding of the screw within a plate to promote compression at the fracture site.
Use: Designed to be inserted into bone, such as the femoral neck, and combined with a plate (e.g., DHS or DCS plate) that is secured along the bone.
Sterility: Screws intended for surgical use are sterile.
Dimensions: Available in various lengths and thread diameters to accommodate anatomical needs and fracture types.
Compression Sleeve
Compression Sleeve Characteristics
A compression sleeve, like the one shown, has several important characteristics, including:
Material and Texture: Usually made from elastic and breathable textile materials (such as polyamide and elastane), it offers a comfortable texture and allows the skin to breathe.
Graduated Compression: Designed to apply graduated pressure, often greatest at the wrist and decreasing toward the upper arm, to promote venous and lymphatic return and reduce edema.
Integrated or Separate Design: May include a built-in gauntlet to cover the hand and wrist, or be a simple sleeve without a mitten, with options for open or closed fingers.
Ease of Use: Often stretchy and equipped with fastening systems (non-slip strip, hook-and-loop fasteners) for easy donning and adjustment, and to prevent slippage.
Comfort and Discretion: Seams are often placed on the outside to prevent chafing, and the design can be streamlined for discretion under clothing.
Care: Generally hand washable to maintain hygiene and durability.
Adaptability: Available in various sizes and lengths, and sometimes customizable, to accommodate various body shapes and clinical needs.
Conical washers couple
Axial Force: The conical shape allows the washer to act as a spring, providing a constant axial force that maintains tension in a bolted joint, even under vibration or thermal expansion.
Vibration Damping: The spring action absorbs and dissipates vibrations, which reduces mechanical noise, prevents loosening, and minimizes wear on components.
Load-Bearing Ability: Conical washers are designed to provide a high level of load-bearing ability in a small area, making them suitable for various industrial and automotive applications.
Enhanced Locking Properties: The surfaces of these washers can be serrated or toothed, which enhances their locking properties, offering an increased grip and preventing screws from loosening.
Dental Application (Conical Connection)
Bio-mechanical Interface: The conical connection between the dental implant and the abutment (the part that supports the crown) is designed to create a stable and secure junction.
Connection plates with threated ends.
The defining feature is an internally or externally threaded opening, which accepts screws or other components with corresponding threads.
Hexagonal Head: The threaded component typically has a hexagonal head, requiring a 2.5mm hex screwdriver for tightening.
K-Wire Holes: Pre-drilled holes are included for inserting k-wires, allowing for preliminary fixation to the bone and preliminary realignment of fractured femurs.
Compression Slots: Some plates incorporate compression slots, which allow for a controlled amount of compression to achieve a stable fixation.
Material: These plates are made from materials like titanium and its alloys, known for their biocompatibility, high corrosion resistance, and mechanical properties similar to bone.
Coverslips
Coverslips have the following characteristics:
Material: They are made of D 263 M borosilicate glass, of the first hydrolytic class, known for its chemical resistance.
Quantity: The package contains 100 coverslips.
