Product Information
The iFix® Interference Screw System was developed for Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction procedures using the bone-patellar tendon-bone and other bone-tendon-bone grafts. The iFix® System’s advanced technology and novel material provides answers to surgeons’ biggest concerns without the limits of todays interference screws.
iFix® Interference Screws
iFix® Driver
iFix® is manufactured using polyetheretherketone (PEEK™), a non-absorbable polymer that is highly biocompatible, biomechanically strong and radiolucent. PEEK has vast, proven success as a popular choice for spinal implant materials and combined with the iFix® Systems unique design is an ideal solution for ACL fixation.
The iFix® System offers interference screws of various sizes as well as a disposable procedure kit to further expedite procedural time.
The iFix® System is able to provide surgeons with the following solutions addressing the unmet needs of current interference screw systems:
- Radiolucency; unlike its metallic competitors, PEEK technology provides clear imaging. The absence of artifact allows surgeons to easily view surrounding anatomy on MRIs and X-rays.
- Strong, Rigid Fixation; the iFix® technology provides superior strength to graft fixation without the concern of graft failure or breakage during insertion common with bio-absorbable screws.
- Ideal modulus; PEEK-Optima® polymer is a superior match to bone modulus, which minimizes stress shielding and provides an optimal environment for bone healing.
- Unique Angled Tip, advanced design eliminates the need for tapping or tunnel notching before fixating graft with iFix® Interference Screw.
