NITINEXᵀᴹ Staples are sterile packaged, low-profile, bone fixation appliances intended to provide continuous compression throughout the bone healing process. NITINEXᵀᴹ Staples are two-legged, compression staples made of a shape memory nickel titanium alloy, Nitinol. Designed with barbed and tapered legs, paired with a wide bridge, NITINEXᵀᴹ Staples retain compression even through repetitive loading.
‍
The NITINEXᵀᴹ Staple System offers staples in nine different size options, ranging from 8mm to 30mm to address a variety of fracture and fusion immobilizations in the hand and foot. The NITINEXᵀᴹ Staple System packaging includes a staple of each available size along with all the easy-to-use instruments for implantation.

NITINEXᵀᴹ

STAPLE FEATURES
NITINEXᵀᴹ is a sterile-packaged compression staple system designed to provide fast and easy fixation of fractures, osteotomies, and joint arthrodesis.
Constructed of nickel-titanium (nitinol) alloy per ASTM F2063, NITINEXᵀᴹ implants have been engineered to provide powerful and continuous compression.
Featuring an increased bridge and leg width, NITINEXᵀᴹ staples distribute forces consistently across a wider surface area and increase compression strength. The extra wide bridge and leg width also aid in resisting internal torsional and bending forces.
To minimize soft tissue irritation, NITINEXᵀᴹ staples feature edge chamfers along the bridge that allow for flush seating.
NITINEXᵀᴹ implants feature recessed teeth which have been designed to increase strength in the corners and increase pullout resistance.
NITINEXᵀᴹ implants are available in comprehensive sizing options intended for a wide variety of procedures in the forefoot, midfoot and hindfoot:

  • 8 x 8 mm

  • 10 x 10 mm

  • 12 x 12 mm

  • 15 x 15 mm

  • 18 x 18 mm

  • 20 x 20 mm

  • 22.5 x 22.5 mm

  • 25 x 25 mm

  • 30 x 30 mm

NITINEXᵀᴹ Tandem Drilling

INCREASING CORTICAL CONTACT & PULL OUT STRENGTH
The NITINEXᵀᴹ Staple System features tandem drill holes, increasing the cortical coverage of each staple leg as compared to traditional staples.

NITINEXᵀᴹ instrumentation is designed to increase stability and pull out strength by technique.

  • Tandem drill holes more closely mimic the shape of staple legs than traditional single hole drillingtechniques

  • Increased cortical coverage at the center of NITINEX staple legs compared to traditional single hole drilling techniques
