High-Purity Titanium Solutions for Enhanced Orthopedic Fixation Support

CytroFIX Locking Spacer / Washer / Wirelock, part of the Cytronics (an Invamed brand) orthopedic product family, are meticulously designed auxiliary components intended to reinforce fixation constructs, optimize screw or wire stability, and distribute load effectively in challenging fracture scenarios. Crafted from high-purity titanium, these devices exhibit excellent biocompatibility and mechanical strength, aiding surgeons in achieving reliable stabilization while minimizing soft tissue irritation and hardware prominence.

Locking Spacer

A precision-machined titanium insert that can be placed under a locking screw head or within designated plate recesses, ensuring stable locking engagement and improved screw-to-plate contact. Ideal for osteoporotic bone or complex multi-fragment fractures where robust fixation is paramount.

Washer

A low-profile titanium washer designed to disperse load and prevent screw head from sinking into the cortical surface or bone graft material. It can also help protect delicate anatomic regions by distributing compressive forces over a broader area.

Wirelock

A specialized wire fixation accessory featuring grooves or channels for securing wires or cables (e.g., cerclage wires), ensuring they remain in proper alignment under tension. The wirelock component can integrate seamlessly into a plate-screw construct or function independently for fracture stabilization.

High-Purity Titanium

All components leverage Ti-6Al-4V ELI or equivalent titanium alloys for optimal mechanical endurance, chemical stability, and reduced risk of adverse tissue reactions.

Versatile Clinical Utility

Suited for a wide range of long-bone, pelvic, and periarticular fractures, revision surgeries, and reconstructive procedures. Facilitates tension band constructs, bridging fixations, or additional anchorage in osteoporotic or comminuted bone.

Contraindications
  • Active infection at or near the surgical site.
  • Bone deficiencies that preclude stable anchorage.
  • Patient comorbidities preventing safe surgical intervention.
