OrthoHelix Surgical Designs Inc. has recently launched a variable angle locking screw option. The new Tribrid™ Technology incorporated into the MaxLock Extreme® plates offered from OrthoHelix allows for the use of non-locking, fixed angle locking and now, variable angle locking screws. With the addition of a PEEK ring (made from PEEK-OPTIMA® polymer, by Invibio Biomaterial Solutions) the hole in the plate allows for a variable angle locking screw to be inserted creating a locked construct. The screw can be inserted with up to 30 degrees of conical freedom. The PEEK ring comes with a disposable driver designed to fit with the 3.5mm variable angle locking screw.
