Overview

The Large Acutrak 2 family embodies the benchmark of innovation.

Introduced in 1994, the Acutrak screw technology revolutionized the way surgeons treated fractures, fusions and osteotomies. Acutrak 2 screws represent the latest evolution in fully threaded headless screw fixation with intuitive instrumentation designed to simplify the surgical technique.

The Large Acutrak 2 - 5.5 is comprised of 8 unique screw size options to fit a wide variety of applications throughout the body, with a 5.5 mm diameter with sizes from 25 mm in length, up to 60 mm.

Key Features

Helical Relief Flutes: Located on the distal portion of the screw, the helical relief flutes assist in bone removal to ease screw insertion.

Variable Thread Pitch: The wider thread pitch at the tip of the screw penetrates the bone faster than the finer trailing threads, therefore reducing and compressing two fragments gradually as the screw is advanced.

Headless: The absence of a screw head, allows the titanium screws to be implanted in and around articular regions with minimal risk of impingement or soft tissue irritation.

Cannulated: Facilitates accurate percutaneous insertion with minimal soft tissue dissection.

Self-Cutting Flutes: Incorporated in the distal tip of the screw, cutting flutes on the distal tip of the screw are designed to ease insertion.

Fully-Threaded: Biomechanical studies have shown that fully-threaded screws better handle the cyclic loading that may occur during healing. Additionally, this feature allows the fracture or osteotomy site to lie almost anywhere along the length of the screw*.
