Highest pullout strength for precise, safe ligament and tendon reconstruction
The Bone Anchor Set is an innovative, screw-thread-based anchor system for veterinary ligament and tendon reconstruction in small animals. It impresses with maximum stability, precise placement, and a sophisticated design for safe application, specifically adapted to different animal sizes, from cats to large dog breeds.
Features
- High pullout strength: Significantly exceeds traditional hook anchors and other anchor systems
- Titanium material: Ensures high biocompatibility and infection resistance
- Self-drilling & self-tapping: Easy handling after initial perforation with a KIRSCHNER wire
- Versatile screw sizes: Diameters from 1.3 mm to 2.8 mm, available in various lengths
- Double-head drilling: Allows the insertion of multiple sutures through the same anchor head – pre- or intraoperatively using the threading aid
- Rounded head design: Minimizes the risk of foreign body reactions – in contrast to conventional, classic screw heads with washers
Areas of application
Ideal for collateral ligament replacement in:
- Carpus
- Tarsus
- Elbow
- Knee
Benefits at a glance
- Precise anchorage: Precise fixation in the metaphyseal position is possible
