Bio-Screws & Pins

Arthrex Bio-Compression screws and pins are versatile and may be used to treat a broad range of indications in both lower and upper extremities. Bio-Compression screws are an excellent solution for a variety of complications such as hardware prominence, postoperative imaging, and arthrodesis of small bones in the wrist or fingers. For upper extremity surgery, the Bio-Compression Screw may be inserted either percutaneously or in an open procedure. Trim-It Pins™ make pin placement easier. By using a standard quick connect pin driver, bioabsorbable pins can be drilled and placed all in one easy step. These pins provide preliminary or definitive stabilization of small fracture fragments, involving periarticular injuries. While still maintaining the initial reduction, the fractures can be fixed definitively with plates and screws without blocking hardware placement.

TRIM-IT™ Pins

Trim-It Pins™ make pin placement easier. By using a standard quick connect pin driver, bioabsorbable pins can be drilled and placed all in one easy step. The bioabsorbable portion of the pin is seated in the pin driver during the drilling phase. The metal tip is drilled past the far cortex and cut off with the Bone Cutting Forceps or Hot Loop Cutter. Trim-It Pins™ provide preliminary or definitive stabilization of small fracture fragments, involving periarticular injuries. While still maintaining the initial reduction, the fractures can be fixed definitively with plates and screws without blocking hardware placement.
