One of the distinct features of our staple instrumentation is the flush-insertion our staple inserters provide. Our staple inserters place the staple deeply into the pre-drilled holes in the bone. This allows the boreholes to fully engage the legs and prevent the legs from converging. (Bone staple compression decreases as staple legs converge.) Avoiding leg convergence allows strong compression along the entire length of the legs.
Traditional bone staples were designed to be quickly inserted across a joint fusion to provide continuous compression.
Unfortunately, the insertion devices of traditional staples cause the staple legs to be released too early; before the staple is fully-seated in the bone. This can result in a loss of compression, leading to inadequate fusions.
Our Nitinol staple design gives market-leading compression. This, combined with our patented instrumentation prevents the loss of compression after the staple is inserted into the bone. This well-distributed compression aids in achieving fast fusion along the entire bone surface.
