SPL® Locking Screws
Surgeons who wanted better results told us their story. In response, we created a new approach to fracture care. The result: the first hybrid metallic / polymer screw system that changes with the body during fracture healing. Our goals are to reduce the complications of other plating systems, improve patient outcomes and lower healthcare costs.
01 — Locked at Implantation
During the early stages of bone healing, SPL screws function similarly to conventional locking screws.
02 — Polymer Locking Mechanism
As the polymer degrades with time, construct stiffness is reduced, enhancing interfragmentary motion.
03 — Motion with Time
Delayed dynamization has shown enhanced healing when compared to constantly flexible fixation or early dynamization in animal models.
04 — Small Fragment Fixation
To meet every need, the system accommodates a complete line of stainless steel locking, cortical and cancellous screws.
