FastThread™ Interference Screws

BioComposite FastThread interference screws are designed with a prominent leading and large thread pitch to facilitate screw engagement and advancement. Optimized screw threads improve pullout strength vs longer screws of the same diameter.¹ Vented sidewalls and screw geometry decrease material by 22% without losing insertion or fixation strength.^2,3Arthrex’s proprietary biocomposite material has withstood the test of time with more than a decade of clinical use and millions of implantations.⁴ Rounded thread and head design may reduce damage to graft on insertion and cycling.⁴ Fewer screw heads reduce turns, twisting, and possible graft abrasion. The 20 mm screws are packaged with an insertion sheath.

PEEK FastThread screws offer a nonmetallic fixation option that can be placed without a tap, have a similar modulus as bone and will not affect future visualization with MRI.^1,2 PEEK FastThread screws are available in 20 mm and 30 mm lengths.
