Product Information

Screws

Animal Orthopaedics offers a Self Tapping screw with a Hexalobe (Torx) head.  A Hexalobe head provides a higher torque transfer vs. regular hex heads, and driving forces are spread over a broader surface. Regular hex head screws provide great deal of drive angle which produces stress at the corners of the hex socket, ultimately resulting in stripping of the head and driver.

Self Tapping Cortical Hexalobe Screws are offered in stainless steel as well as titanium in the following thread sizes; 2.0mm, 2.7mm and 3.5mm. A Cancellous Hexalobe Screw is offered in 4.0mm.

Plates

The quality of plates that are offered by Animal Orthopaedics is above and beyond that of the competition.  Each plate, stainless steel or titanium, is laser etched with the part number and manufacturing lot number for complete traceability.  A wide range of plates are offered, from a 1.5mm cuttable plate to a 3.5mm Limited Contact Broad TPLO plate.

Drivers

Hexalobe drivers are offered in two sizes; 2.0/2.7mm and 3.5/4.0mm. Made of 440c stainless steel, the drivers are manufactured with longevity in mind. Unlike regular hex drivers, these drivers have a greater torque transfer and virtually no camout forces that would strip the screw or the driver.
