A kit from the INITIAL S HAND range consists of a set of instruments, or a set of instruments and implants, to be used exclusively in orthopedic or trauma surgery for the placement of osteosynthesis screws marketed by Newclip Technics. The implants from the Stand-Alone Screws range are dedicated to the fixation of fractures, osteotomies, and bone arthrodeses in adults, suitable for the size of the device.
To facilitate patient flow management and reduce operative delays, Newclip Technics has developed INITIAL S. These single-use instrumentation kits allow the placement of sterile screws*, used in hand surgeries: INITIAL S HAND.
Today, INITIAL S HAND offers you 3 individual instrumentation kits for cannulated screws Ø2.25 mm, Ø2.6 mm, and Ø3.0 mm.
Ready when you are!
*The screws are not available in the INITIAL S HAND kit; they are available separately in sterile single-unit packaging (S-box).
Our sterile solution: INITIAL S HAND.
The INITIAL S HAND kits for cannulated hand screws include a quick-coupling drill bit, a 3-in-1 instrument, a quick-coupling handle, a double guide, and guidewires.
The kit composition varies depending on the screw diameter:
-
Kit for Ø2.25 mm self-compressive cannulated screws (cannula 0.9 mm – L14 mm to L34 mm for short thread – L12 mm to L34 mm for long thread)
-
Kit for Ø2.6 mm self-compressive or positioning cannulated screws (cannula 1.1 mm – L14 mm to L34 mm for short thread – L10 mm to L34 mm for long thread – L10 mm to L34 mm for full thread)
-
Kit for Ø3.0 mm self-compressive or positioning cannulated screws (cannula 1.1 mm – L14 mm to L34 mm for short thread – L10 mm to L40 mm for long thread – L10 mm to L40 mm for full thread)
The screws are self-drilling and self-tapping, available in multiple versions: short thread, long thread, and full thread.
