EXTERNAL FIXATION SYSTEMThe Apex Pin FIXATION SYSTEM is a one step procedurereducing insertion time and reducing insertion temperature. There are three types of FIXATION pins:Self-drilling / Self-tapping Apex PinsThe unique One Step Cutting Technology offers significantadvantages over traditional pins. Apex Pins always act as a new drill, so there is no need to pre-drillTheir One Step Insertionand high cutting performanceleads to reduced operative insertion temperaturesdue to reduced Apex PinsDesigned with a smooth non-cuttingtip for use in hard corticalbone or for use in zones where a previous fracture may haveoccurred. Blunt Apex Pins are based on the same technologyas One Step Pins, however due to their lack of a drill tip, BluntApex Pins require Apex Pins should be used when betterprotection of soft tissues is for use in the Apex Pins Designed for use in double frames requiring a high degreeof Apex PinsDesigned for use in metaphyseal / epiphyseal areas incancellous areas to ensure a higher pin stability and thereforea higher frame stability.
4 The Apex ® Pin Fixation System uses an advanced cylindrical thread profile that is designed to improve anchorage and pull-out resistance. Apex One Step Pins have a tip design, that provides optimal cutting conditions during the drilling phase.
