About OrthoFuzIon Orthopedic Bone Screw System (Prod 150319)
The OrthoFuzIon Orthopedic Bone Screw System is the world’s first commercially available active antimicrobial device indicated for orthopedic reduction and fixation procedures. The OrthoFuzIon System consists of a platinum plated cannulated titanium bone screw and silver plated nitinol insert that fits into the inner lumen of the screw cannula. Implanted in the same manner as traditional bone screws and positioned to reduce and fixate a lower extremity fracture, the OrthoFuzIon bone screw galvanically produces silver ions, which actively reduce microbial contamination. In vitro testing of the OrthoFuzIon screw demonstrated bactericidal activity against MRSA and other common pathogens. The company has received CE Mark approval (03/19/2015).
