Mdi Implant Equipment & Supplies

Internal fixation allows shorter hospital stays, enables patients to return to function earlier, and reduces the incidence of nonunion (improper healing) and malunion (healing in improper position) of broken bones. The implants used for internal fixation are made from stainless steel and titanium, which are durable and strong. If a joint is to be replaced, rather than fixed, ...

MDI will make trial spacers and instrumentation to compliment the range of orthopedic implants we manufacture for our customers. These are often made from stainless steel and require heat treatment, chrome/hard coating and enamel color banding to designate ...

Titanium or cobalt chrome implants used in spinal fusion surgery (or scoliosis surgery), they run parallel to the spine on both sides held in place by pedicle screws with a locking cap or ...

Pedicle screws are orthopedic implants used occasionally in a spinal fusion to add extra support and strength to the fusion while it heals. Pedicle screws are placed above and below the vertebrae that were fused. A rod is used to connect the screws which prevents movement and allows the bone graft to heal. ...

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) cages have been widely used during the past decade in implantable medical devices for patients with degenerative disorders of the cervical spine. The use of a cervical PEEK cage is beneficial in that it does not require bone ...

Consolidation phase involves hardening and calcification of this new bone which is still weak due to lack of calcium. Implants can be external or ...

MTP plates include compression, revision, and lower profile “wingless” plates that can provide lower extremity surgeons with a variety of options to treat metatarsophalangeal joint fractures, fusions, and osteotomies. With a low-profile design that can help minimize soft tissue irritation, MTP plates are designed to be incredibly strong, enabling solid fusions of metatarsophalangeal ...

These screws include a patented taper, variable thread pitch, and fully threaded length to provide strong compression and holding power for fractures, osteotomies, and fusions. ...

The locking plate has a corresponding threaded plate hole. During insertion, the locking head screw engages and locks into the threaded plate hole. Friction between plate and bone is necessary for stability using conventional screws. ...

Compression plates are designed to apply compression to fractures. The standard compression plate is usually referred to as a dynamic compression plate, which is a misnomer since these plates supply static compression to a fracture. Static compression enables quicker healing times and less pain during ...

The surgeon inserts a spacer and permanently fixes the adjacent vertebrae to one another with a cervical plate. This stabilization eliminates movement and often relieves your pain and other symptoms. However, it reduces your flexibility and range of ...
