Product Overview
The Acumed Acutrak 2 Headless Compression Screw System is the latest evolution in fully threaded headless screw fixation, with intuitive instrumentation designed to simplify the surgical technique. The Acutrak 2 System may help minimize drill depth sensitivity and offers 68 unique screw size options to fit a wide variety of applications throughout the body.
The Acutrak 2 Headless Compression Screw System includes the Acutrak 2 Micro, Acutrak 2 Mini, Acutrak 2 Standard, Acutrak 2 - 4.7, Acutrak 2 - 5.5, Acutrak 2 - 7.5.
Features
• Continuously Variable Thread Pitch
The Acutrak fully threaded continuously variable thread pitch screw design provides greater compression and a larger window of compression as compared to partially threaded Herbert style screw designs. In addition, this feature allows a fracture or osteotomy site to lie almost anywhere along the length of the screw.
• A Family of Options
Available in six different families for a total of 68 different screws, addressing applications throughout the upper and lower extremities.
• Fully Threaded
Biomechanical studies have shown that fully threaded screws better handle the cyclic loading that may occur during healing. The Acutrak Headless Compression Screw technology has shown greater push-out strength, greater resistance to cyclic loading, and greater resistance to torsional loading when compared to differential pitch screw technology.
• A Heritage of Healing
Over 1.7 million Acutrak family screws implanted since 1994, supported by more than 100 clinical and biomechanical publications. (https://www.acumed.net/)
