Intended purpose
The NexFix washer is a threaded circular piece of stainless steel through which is inserted a Nexfix Compression Screw. The NexFix Washer is intended for use with a bone fixation device, e.g. bone screws or bone bolts, to improve fixation in osteoporotic bone and/or help prevent soft tissue damage. The NexFix Compression Screw is locked to the washer to form a headed screw that will increase bone coverage and prevent the screw from sinking into osteopenic bone. Different sizes of washers are available to suit various sized Compression Screws.
