B-Screw Interference Screw
B-Screw TCP Interference Screws
The B-Screw TCP is a biocomposite interference screw specifically designed to meet the needs of surgeons.
Made of Polyal®, a 70% PLA and 30% ß-TCP biocomposite material, the B-Screw is designed for:
- Fixation of soft tissue and bone tendon grafts
- Ligament reattachment in a variety of surgical procedures
Key Features & Benefits
- Polyal1 – safe and proven biocomposite material that is mechanically resistant, radiolucent, bioabsorbable and osteoconductive – supports the formation of new bone
- High Torque Resistance2 – transmits torque more effectively compared to standard hex driver geometry – reliable insertion, even in hard bone
- Self-Tapping3 – conical tip and unique thread pattern designed to eliminate the need for tap instrumentation – quick and easy starting
- Double-thread Design – two independent threads reduce the number of turns needed to insert the screw – faster and more efficient insertion
- Internal Configuration – screw and driver design shifts torsional stress off from the screw and onto the driver, improving performance during insertion – tactile feedback and reproducibility
- Full Size Range – available in 6 diameters and 4 lengths; suitable for multiple procedures – versatility
B-Screw is available in the United States.
B-Screw is CE-marked indicated for the fixation of soft tissue and bone tendon grafts.
