CareFix External Fixator Screws are specialized orthopedic bone fixation pins designed to securely anchor external fixators to cortical or cancellous bone. Featuring sharp self-drilling tips and dual-cortex threaded shafts, these screws ensure bicortical engagement for maximum stability, preventing micromotion and loosening. Available in thicker diameters (optimized for strength) and titanium/stainless steel materials, they are compatible with clamps across unilateral, circular, and hybrid fixation systems. Their unilateral placement design minimizes soft tissue interference while maintaining biomechanical integrity.
Anchor for external fixators (open fractures, limb lengthening, deformity correction)
Cortical/cancellous bone fixation (requires bicortical engagement)
Temporary or prolonged cross-joint stabilization
Severe osteoporosis or poor bone quality (insufficient bicortical grip)
Active infection at the implantation site
Unicortical fixation (biomechanically inadequate)
Bicortical threading: Ensures full bone engagement.
Self-drilling tip: Minimizes pre-drilling steps.
High-strength materials: Titanium/stainless steel for durability.
Thicker diameters: Enhanced shear resistance for high-load scenarios.
Unilateral placement: Minimizes tissue disruption.
