Designed for external fixation and temporary skeletal stabilization. It is a core component of the Stryker Apex™ Pin Fixation System and is fully compatible with the Hoffmann® 3 Modular External Fixation System. This half pin features a self‑drilling, self‑tapping tip, allowing one‑step insertion without pre‑drilling, which reduces operative time and minimizes thermal necrosis at the bone–pin interface. The 50 mm threaded section provides secure cortical purchase, while the smooth shaft allows controlled soft‑tissue clearance and clamp positioning.
Key Features
- Self‑drilling / self‑tapping design enabling single‑step insertion without pre‑drilling
