FACETED BONE SCREW
TECHNOLOGY
Diamond Orthopedic’s proprietary bone screw technology is revolutionizing orthopedic fixation.
Lower Insertional Torque
The faceted threadform lowers insertional torque required to reduce a fracture by ~50% [A]
Increased Bone Contact
Faceted bone screws feature better neighboring bone engagement that leads to increased osteogenesis and bone/device apposition [B]
Higher Pullout Strength
Faceted bone screws feature an improved bone/screw interface, increasing fixation and pullout strength, with up to 61% greater pullout strength 2 weeks after surgery [B]

[B] Based on in vivo ovine testing conducted at OrthoKinetic Testing Technologies as compared to market leading helical screw with same profile. Additional validation testing has been performed in non-biological substrates. Data on file.
OUR STORY
Since the first screw was invented by Archimedes for irrigation purposes around 200 B.C., over 1,000 years would pass before the screw was used for its more familiar purpose: a helical threaded fastener.
Likewise, the basic 'helical' design of today's orthopedic fastener has remained relatively consistent since the 1940's.
Based on an idea that was originally conceived by a carpenter, Diamond Orthopedic's faceted threadform is the first true innovation in orthopedic fixation in decades. The unique geometry of facets reduces friction during the insertion process and uses the naturally occurring viscoelastic properties of bone to achieve more contact at the bone-screw interface. The faceted threadform enables a nearly 50% reduction in insertion torque with less stress transfer and higher pullout strength [A]
Diamond Orthopedic's faceted threadform is the new fixation standard in orthopedics.
