Do you know what is 1.8 emergency screw?
The 1.8 emergency screw is designed specifically for craniofacial trauma cases such as fractures in the jaw, cheekbone, eye socket, or forehead. With a diameter of 1.8mm, it's a typical size used for facial bone fixation. Its self-tapping feature means it can cut its own thread as it's being inserted, so no pre-tapping is required. This not only saves time in the operating room, which is a critical factor in emergency situations. The cross-fit emergency screw is compatible with plates from different manufacturers, so you don't have to stick to a particular brand. What material is this craniofacial emergency screw made of? Titanium alloy. It is light, strong, and resistant to corrosion. Also, very unlikely patients would need to have it removed.
Key Features
Self-Tapping for Speed:No pre-tapping means fewer steps. The 1.8 emergency screw goes in faster. In an emergency facial trauma case, quite a bit of time can be saved. Less anesthesia time. That's why craniofacial surgeons really appreciate this screw.
Cross-Fit Works with Various Plates:Most emergency screws only fit one brand's plates. No, this cross-fit emergency screw is different. It can be used with several types of CMF mini plates and locking plates. That's exactly the idea — you don't have to be locked into one system.
Titanium Alloy:Titanium is the material of choice for craniofacial fixation. It has enough strength for facial bones. Furthermore, it won't cause any allergic reactions. This cross-fit emergency screw won't produce any artefacts in CT or MRI scans, so you can clearly see bone healing.
1.8mm Diameter for Facial Bones:Since facial bones are very thin in some places, a 2.0mm screw can be too large for a few areas. On the other hand, a 1.4mm screw might not be strong enough. The 1.8 emergency screw serves as a good compromise.
Low Profile Head: The cross-fit emergency screw's head is designed to lie flat against the surface. So, it doesn’t protrude from the plate. This is especially important in the face, which is under the eyelid, along the jawline, and near the eyebrow. The cross-fit emergency screw quite simply won't be visible through the skin.
Multiple Lengths Available:Various facial fractures require different lengths. Short is good for the orbital rim and long for the mandible angle. This cross-fit emergency screw can be purchased in a variety of lengths.
Application
This 1.8 emergency screw is capable of managing craniofacial fractures, such as:
Mandible fractures - e.g., angle, body, symphyseal. This particular 1.8 emergency screw provides a strong hold in cranial-facial trauma merely by means of fixing the lower jaw.
Orbital rim fractures - the eye socket rim is quite thin. This trauma fixation screw with a cross-fit kind of hold is capable of maintaining the integrity of the bone without cracking it.
Zygomatic (cheek) fractures - usually, ZMC fractures require screws along the buttress. This screw for trauma fixation is a great match for such situations.
Frontal bone (forehead) fractures - when there is a trauma that causes a step in the bone, this method looks great for temporary fixation.
Naso-orbital-ethmoid fractures (NOE) - very thin bone, small fragments. Usually, the 1.8 emergency screw is a great fit.
Le Fort fractures - these fractures of the midface require several points of fixation.
The trauma fixation screw is compatible with both locking and non-locking plates.
Generally, for thin facial bone, locking plates are preferred.
