Designed for stabilization and compression of bone fragments during fracture repair, osteotomy, or reconstructive procedures. Manufactured from Vitallium® cobalt‑chromium alloy, the staple provides high strength, corrosion resistance, and long‑term biocompatibility. The spear‑point leg geometry allows for controlled penetration into cortical bone, facilitating secure fixation while reducing insertion resistance. This implant is intended for use with compatible Howmedica/Stryker staple insertion instrumentation.
Key Features
