Trauma fixation products are purchased as connected systems of implants and instruments. Clear component references help prevent mismatches during preparation.
Plates and screws: read the interface
Plate systems vary by anatomical location, shape, hole design and screw interface. Locking screws engage a matching plate interface, while conventional screws can compress the plate against bone.
Screw diameter, thread design, length and driver connection all matter to compatibility. Clinical selection of the fixation method and implant remains the surgeon’s responsibility.
Intramedullary nails and external fixation
Intramedullary nails sit within the medullary canal and use system-specific insertion and locking instruments. A purchasing list needs the nail range, compatible locking screws and associated instrumentation.
External fixators connect bone pins or wires to an external frame. Pin dimensions, clamps, rods and connecting components must follow the selected system’s compatibility specifications.
- Implant references, dimensions and material
- Compatible drills, guides, drivers and depth gauges
- Instrument tray contents and component counts
- Manufacturer instructions for cleaning and sterilisation
Check system completeness and traceability
Sterile and non-sterile components have different receiving and preparation requirements. Reusable instruments follow the manufacturer’s validated processing instructions, including any disassembly steps.
Bonetech Medisys is a trauma-products partner of Advanced Modern Sciences. A system-based enquiry links each implant range to the instruments and interfaces needed for its evaluation.
At receipt, reconcile implants and trays against the agreed component list and retain lot or serial identifiers. For loaned sets, agree responsibility for counts, processing and returns as part of the purchasing arrangement.
Common questions
Are screws with the same diameter interchangeable?+
Compatibility depends on the system’s thread, locking interface and instrument connections. Check the manufacturer’s compatibility specifications.
What should a trauma-system enquiry include?+
Include implant references and sizes, compatible instrument lists, sterility status and processing instructions.
Which identifiers support implant traceability?+
Retain the manufacturer’s product reference and lot or serial identifier, linked to the relevant receiving and use records.
