Compression PT Screw System


2.5 and 3.0 mm Headless Compression PT Screws

The 2.5 mm and 3.0 mm titanium Headless Compression PT screws can be used for fixation of osteotomies, fusion, or fracture fixation in the foot/ankle, hand/wrist, and elbow. The screws provide compression due to different thread pitches at the head of the screw and at the distal thread of the screw. A hexalobe recess provides improved torque transmission and allows for simplified insertion. For Weil osteotomies, 2.0 mm snap-off QuickFix™ screws are included in the 2.5 mm and 3.0 mm Headless Compression PT Screw System (AR-8610S-01), completing a comprehensive solution for the forefoot.

• Headless design

• Self-drilling and self-tapping

• Hexalobe drive (2.5 mm = T7; 3.0 mm = T8)
