Features & Benefits

Innovative Cutting Edge
Three uniquely angled surfaces combine to form an innovative cutting edge designed to1,2,3:
- Reduce insertion force
- Minimize the need for pre-drilling
Traditional self-drilling / self-tapping screws have a straight tip vs CCHS angled tip. Angled cutting tips allow for efficient screw insertion into bone.

Cobalt Chrome Guide Wires
Added stiffness through:
- Cobalt Chrome Guide Wires have a 29% higher bending stiffness compared to Stainless Steel*4
- Cobalt Chrome Guide Wire reduces deflection during wire insertion*4
*Comparing Guide Wires with same cross-section. CoCr Guide Wire compared to SS Guide Wire of same diameter.

Most Comprehensive Portfolio
CCHS has the widest range of cannulated compression headless screw diameters 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.5, 6.5, 7.5mm and lengths (10-140 mm) on the market5

Head with Cutting Flutes
Facilitates countersinking of screwhead

StarDrive™ Recess
Facilitates screw insertion and extraction.

Reverse-Cutting Flutes
Facilitate screw removal

Superior Cutting Efficiency*6 – Force to Insert Testing
*Bench testing may not be indicative of clinical performance. Axial load of 15 samples of small screw types and 6 samples of large screw types were measured. Percentage comparisons between CCHS and competitive screws are based upon observed mean axial loads from testing. Superiority is based on a 99% observed confidence.
