Product Description
Having conquered the challenge of a strong pin bone interface with our OsteoTite HA coating, Orthofix has reached new heights with the XCaliber Bone Screw.
We have optimized the thread and tip design to secure fixation in cortical, cancellous and osteoporotic bone until healing.
Indication
Indicated to secure fixation in cortical, cancellous and osteoporotic bone.
Physician Benefits
- Fine pitch thread design: improves purchase in cortical, cancellous and osteoporotic bone 1,2
- Designed so that each thread cuts its own path, producing a radial preload as the thread advances
- Optimized thread taper and profile: for backing out a few turns if the bone screw is over-inserted
- Innovative fluted cutting tip: safe drilling with minimal heat generation, without sacrificing bone purchase in the second cortex
