Cancellous Apex ® PinsDesigned for use in metaphyseal / epiphyseal areas i.e. incancellous areas to ensure a higher pin stability and thereforea higher frame stability. Note that Cancellous Apex Pinsrequire pre-drilling.Titanium Apex ® PinsTitanium Apex Pins offer the same One Step CuttingTechnology as the self drilling / self tapping pins i.e.:Titanium Apex Pins always act as a new drill, so there isno need to pre-drillOne Step Insertion and high cutting performanceleads to reduced operative timeReduced insertion temperatures due to reduced frictionTitanium alloy Ti6Al-4V offers an excellent biocompatibilityand is particularly recommended for patientsRequiring MRI or CT scans since titanium alloy reducesimage distortionsAllergic to nickel contained in Stainless SteelTitanium alloy Ti6Al-4V has been chosen for titanium ApexPins due toIts hardness which is equivalent to 316L Stainless Steel(37 HRC) and superior to pure titanium (17 HRC)whose pin tip may be damaged during insertionIts greater resistance to fatigue than pure titanium3
