Basic Information
Since its introduction, the Acutrak Headless Compression Screw has revolutionized the way surgeons gain fixation. The Acutrak System eliminates the need to countersink a head, drill a glide hole or, in many cases, make large incisions.
Since 1994, the Acutrak has simplified surgical procedures, reduced post-op complications and improved the quality of patient outcomes.Key Features
- Compression
The variable thread pitch and tapered profile work together to compress two bone fragments into one rigid structure promoting union. The Acutrak’s fully-threaded length assists in maintaining compression through loading until the bone fragments unite. - Holding Power
In biomechanical testing against AO headed and Herbert headless screws, the Acutrak maintained 91.3% of its compression through cyclic loading.5 The Acutrak not only generated the most compression, but it maintained the highest percentage of compression after cyclic loading. - Straightforward Insertion Procedure
The cannulation, self-tapping threads and unique means of compression promote a straightforward surgical protocol that generates excellent compression and holding power.
