Today’s screw technology is not enough for tomorrow.
Biomech Innovations is pioneering Variable Fixation, the innovative locking screw technology naturally transitioning from rigid to dynamic stability during treatment[1].
There is a window of opportunity in fracture healing.
Variable Fixation Locking Screw
VFLS®
Variable Fixation Locking Screws (VFLS®) are innovative locking screws boosting new bone formation through three fixation phases.
Rigid fixation
Respects inflammatory processes and blood vessels formation.
Progressive Dynamization
Boosts the production
of new bone.
Dynamic fixation
Allows new bone
calcification.
The ability to foster the healing process and increase the treatment success rate would be a significant advancement.
How it works
1. Variable Fixation Technology Provides Rigid as Well as Progressive Dynamic Fixation: A Biomechanical Investigation.
2. Variable fixation promotes callus formation: an experimental study on transverse tibial osteotomies stabilized with locking plates.
3. Strategies to Improve Bone Healing: Innovative Surgical Implants Meet Nano-/Micro-Topography of Bone Scaffolds.
4. Promoting bone callus formation by taking advantage of the time-dependent fracture gap strain modulation.
5. Positive Results Using Variable Fixation in Medial Opening Wedge High Tibial Osteotomies in Patients with Unilateral Knee Osteoarthritis: An Observational Clinical Investigation.
Complementary
Replaces existing screws or can
be used alongside them.
Versatile
The principle can be used for
most long bone fractures.
Compatible
Uses existing surgical
procedures and instruments.
