Acrylx™ ESF Acrylic
Acrylx™ is a methacrylate based composite resin designed to simplify construction of pin and acrylic external fixators on toy breeds, avian, feline, exotics and mandibular fractures. Unlike other commonly used products, Acrylx™ has minimal odor and does not require pre-mixing before application.
Hex Head Wire Fixation Bolt
A mainstay of circular and hybrid external skeletal fixation, the cannulated/slotted wire fixation bolt has been improved to include a hex head. The hex head provides freedom of wrench placement and allows use of different wrench types. If you do not have any wire fixtion bolts with a hex head, IMEX™ recommends you include 6-8 today to simplify your next surgery.
Titanium Suture Buttons
Two-hole titanium suture buttons, like polypropylene suture buttons, are used at the lateral femur to simplify suture tie-off with the toggle pin method of hip luxation repair and find additional uses in other surgical procedures. The paired 1.7mm holes will accommodate virtually all suture material choices.
2.7mm Suture Anchors and Driver
Developed with a new elliptical head design and applied with a durable slotted driver, surgeons can position the suture of choice before driving the anchor.
Reinvented NP (No Point) Fixation Half-pin Style
Based on customer feedback, the NP (No-Point) external fixation half-pin has been reinvented with a blunt-trocar point to offer:
• Improved ease-of-use
• Enhanced thread starting
• Better tracking in pre-drilled holes
NP (No-Point) fixation half-pins lack the sharp trocar point found on standard fixation pins which reduces opportunity for morbidity created by a point remaining in soft tissue. This blunted trocar pin is safer for the operating surgeon and costs less than traditional sharp trocar half-pins. Lengths, diameters, and recommended drill bits are common with standard INTERFACE® and DuraFace® half-pins. IMEX™ pin and drill charts can be used for trocar and NP style pins.
DuraFace® ESF Half-pins
DuraFace® fixation half-pins represent a tremendous breakthrough in veterinary external fixation pin performance. TRO™ (Tapered Run Out) technology provides increased stiffness, strength and durability as compared to traditional positive profile ESF pins. (U.S. Patent Pending)
TRO™ Large Animal Transfixation Pins
TRO™ Large Animal Transfixation Pins offer you the benefits of:
• Increased fatigue life
• Increased bending strength
• Increased ultimate strength
These improvements enhance performance without an increase in corresponding hole diameter created in the patient’s bone (data submitted for publication).
TPLO Saw Blade Adapter
This TPLO Saw Blade Adapter is designed to couple Synthes® TPLO saw blades to Stryker®-type saws. Our adapter allows you to secure a Synthes® TPLO saw blade in the preferred Slocum method of mounting the blade on the long axis of the saw.
IMEX™ customers report satisfaction with performance of the Synthes® saw blade but prefer using it as described by Slocum.
Extended Nuts
Extended nuts are designed to simplify application of fasteners and components at locations that are difficult to approach with a wrench.
