Nitinol Sawteeth Arm Fixation System
Nitinol staples feature a wide, low-profile bridge to enhance stability and reduce irritation of soft tissues. Their slightly arched bridge ensures uniform compression at the osteotomy or fusion site. The specially designed inserter provides surgeons with the flexibility to modify the legs of the staple, and the elevator tip facilitates the removal and reinsertion of the implant.
