Zimmer® Cannulated Screw

The Zimmer Cannulated Screw System, one of the world's most comprehensive systems, is designed to address most clinical situations and to place multiple, intraoperative solutions in the surgeon's hands. Making use of enhanced material technology and innovative design, the Zimmer System aids in precise guidewire placement, to help ensure secure fixation. This in turn helps to maintain a mechanical environment conducive to healing in small bone fractures and weight bearing applications.

Biodur 108 Alloy allows the Zimmer Cannulated Screw System to feature deeper threads and a larger cannula without compromising screw strength. The larger cannula accommodates a larger/stiffer guidewire. The guidewire's enhanced strength and stiffness help to prevent it from skiving, deflecting, or walking on the bone. This affords greater accuracy in guidewire placement and screw insertion.
