WASHER
+ Description
Washer for Non-Locking Screw A washer for non-locking screws is an orthopedic accessory designed to enhance stability and load distribution in bone fixation procedures. It acts as a supportive interface between the screw head and bone surface, preventing screw head sinking and ensuring optimal fixation.
+ Indications
- A washer for non-locking screws is an essential orthopedic accessory that enhances screw stability and prevents implant-related complications. Its role is crucial in various surgical applications, including
- Prevention of Screw Head Sinking:-Distributes pressure evenly to prevent the screw head from embedding into soft bone, especially in osteoporotic patients.
- Enhanced Stability in Cancellous Bone:-Provides additional support when using non-locking screws in weaker, porous bone structures.
- Improved Load Distribution:-Reduces localized stress at the bone-screw interface, minimizing the risk of implant failure.
- Support in Fracture Fixation:-Used in trauma surgeries to reinforce non-locking screws and maintain fracture alignment.
- Applications in Pelvic, Foot, and Ankle Surgeries:-Commonly utilized in areas where additional stability is required due to complex anatomical structures.
- By enhancing fixation and reducing stress on the bone, washers for non-locking screws contribute to better surgical outcomes and long-term implant success."
+ Key Features
- Enhanced Load Distribution:- Reduces localized stress on bone, minimizing the risk of implant failure.
- Prevents Screw Head Sinking:- Especially useful in osteoporotic or cancellous bone applications.
- Optimized Fit:- Designed to accommodate non-locking screws securely.
- High-Strength Material:- Available in stainless steel or titanium for biocompatibility and durability.
- Smooth and Contoured Design:- Minimizes soft tissue irritation and ensures a precise fit. The washer for non-locking screws plays a crucial role in orthopedic procedures by enhancing screw stability and preventing implant-related complications.
