Acutrak® Headless Compression Screw System
AcuTwist® and Hammertoe Fusion System
The Acumed Acutrak Headless Compression Screw System has changed the way surgeons gain fixation and maintain compression.
The innovative design of the screws includes a patented taper, variable thread pitch, and fully threaded length to provide strong compression and holding power for fractures, osteotomies, and fusions.
These self-tapping screws feature robust guide wires and hex drivers that are designed for optimum screw placement.
Acutrak AcuTwist and Hammertoe Fusion are intended as a fixation device for small bones, bone fragments, and osteotomies. They are not intended for interference or soft tissue fixation.
Acutrak Headless Compression Screw System Procedures
The Acutrak Headless Compression Screw System can be used in the following procedures:
Acutrak Technical Article List
With more than 120 screw size options, Acutrak and Acutrak 2® screws address indications throughout the anatomy. Backed by more than 25 years of clinical data and referenced in more than 100 peer-reviewed journals, Acumed’s Acutrak screw continues to be a market leader in headless screw fixation.
These citations offer evidence of the substantial biomechanical and clinical research that has involved Acutrak since the product’s introduction in 1994.
Hammertoe Fusion System
The Acumed Hammertoe Fusion System is an indication-specific set that is intended to provide intramedullary fixation and compression of the joint with the intent to avoid leaving prominent hardware. The headless design allows the screw to be implanted below the surface of the bone with the intent to avoid the distal interphalangeal joint, leaving only the proximal interphalangeal joint fused.
Indications for the Hammertoe Fusion System include: arthodesis of the PIP and DIP joints of the toes and fingers, rigid PIPJ contractures and deformities, rigid hammertoe surgery, revision hammertoe surgery, and severe claw deformities.
AcuTwist
The Acumed AcuTwist, part of the Acutrak family of headless compression screws, provides compression fixation for use in fusions, osteotomies, and small periarticular fractures. Its patented design includes variable thread pitch, a tapered profile, and a fully-threaded length to assist with maintaining compression during cyclic loading. The AcuTwist can be used in applications that benefit from interfragmentary compression.
The AcuTwist is very versatile and has been successfully applied in multiple indications, such as chevron and proximal crescentic osteotomies, radial and ulnar styloid fractures, radial head fractures, periarticular fractures, and fixation of cortical fracture fragments. The AcuTwist screws are available in sizes from 10 mm - 30 mm in 2 mm increments.
