FIXIN

FIXIN supports (Plates) are offered in a wide variety and designed for various indication

• Corrective osteotomies (TPLO; TWO; TPO; etc.)
• Tarsus and Carpus Arthrodesis and Panarthrodesis
• Traumatology (Basin; Femur; Tibia; Humerus; etc.)

Conical coupling

FIXIN is to be intended as a stable system quite different from a "traditional" screw-plate system. Stability with conventional plates is connected with the pressure of the plate to the bone, caused by the traction force of the screw. Locking systems function as internal fixators achieving stability by locking the screw to the plate. In the FIXIN System, solidarization between the self-locking screws and the support is ensured by the conical coupling which develops between the surface of the screw head and the surface of the conical hole of the bushing. The FIXIN system transfers the force which acts on the fracture in an elastic way. Under the influence of this force, the structure is elastically deformed and returns to the initial stage in which the force stops having effect. The coupling consists of conical male and female parts that are complementary. The grip, the friction and the micro-welding between the two surfaces and the elastic deformation accomplish the stable union of the two elements.

Innovation and technology

FIXIN is a veterinary orthopaedic implant for internal fixation with angular stability. The locking FIXIN device consists of an orthopaedic stainless steel support with treaded holes where externally threaded titanium alloy inserts can be screwed in. Though morphologically similar to traditional plates, the system looks like external fixators, from a mechanical point of view. However, it is different because of its mechanical properties, proving to be a new and original osteosynthesis system.

Benefits and Advantages

• Less invasive because of the use of shorter implants and less screws
• The contact and pressure of plate on bone is no longer necessary; vascularisation of periosteum is thus preserved
• The screw-plate solidarization through conic coupling ensures a distribution of the force all over the structure eliminating the risk of implant breakage and crew mobilization
• The mechanical qualities of the implant enable early re-education and load concession
• Anatomic and easily moldable plates with a thickness of 1.5 – 3mm which allow a wide application range
