Skeletal Wires / Arthrodesis Wires
Skeletal wires / Arthrodesis wires are often used to hold together pieces of bone that are too small to be fixed with pins. Skeletal wires, such as arthrodesis wires, are often used in conjunction with other forms of internal fixation, but they can be used alone to treat fractures of small bones, such as those found in the hand or foot. Skeletal wires are usually removed after a certain amount of time, but they may be left in permanently for some fractures.
- These products are only to be implanted by a qualified medical practitioner using compatible CE marked instruments/Devices.
- Skeletal wires should only be used for fusion, skeletal traction, and fixation (to fixate bones while they are healing) in the areas of the body for which they were intended, namely hands and feet.
- Skeletal wires and Arthrodesis wires are non-permanent implants, they should be removed after 120 days, and SHOULD NEVER BE REUSED. The skeletal wires should never be misused in any way.
