Overview

Dual-Trak Clavicle Screw

Acumed introduces a solution for middle third clavicle fractures designed to increases patient acceptance and reduce overall surgery time. The Acumed Dual-Trak Clavicle Screw system is a fully intramedullary implant therefore eliminating the need for painful prominent hardware while still providing superior compression.

Key Features

Key Features

Some key advantages of this advanced surgical solution include:

  • A minimally invasive technique offering a limited surgical exposure thereby reducing soft-tissue dissection, periosteal stripping, and unsightly or painful scarring. User-friendly instrumentation and multiple surgical techniques allow for reliable and reproducible results.
  • A fully intramedullary implant that eliminates painful prominent hardware, skin breakdown related to hardware prominence, and reduces risk of infection. The Dual-Trak Clavicle Screw also reduces the need for hardware removal which in turn decreases the potential of refracture due to a stress riser. With five lengths ranging from 80 mm-120 mm in 3.0 mm and 3.8 mm diameters, the system offers numerous options to optimize the stability of fixation by obtaining sufficient thread engagement across the fracture fragments in the S-shaped medullary canal.
  • Maximized Holding Control and Compression provided by differential pitch threads on the tip and tail ends of the Dual-Trak Clavicle Screw. This interfragmental compression effect is superior to other intramedullary implants because the threads exert an axial compression force at the fracture site. The device does not require any extra-medullary means of fixation to maintain compression or prevent implant migration, unlike other implants on the market.

Designed to address simple acute fractures, malunions, and nonunions of the clavicle, the Dual-Trak rounds out the Surgeon’s options in providing fracture fixation.
