Description
The QWIX stabilization screw is a cannulated titanium alloy screw with a long non-threaded shaft, allowing optimal compression and has a self-tapping screw tip. These features enable its use in bone fixation. Its length can vary from 10 to 34mm for the 3.0mm diameter QWIX stabilization screw. The screw is cannulated in order to enable the use of a K-wire for optimal positioning. Delivered non sterile.
