MaxTorque Washers

	Two Styles	Flat and contoured Gives surgeon more options Washer reinforces support and disperses the load/stress over a larger surface area Contoured washer allows for more contact with surface of the bone
MaxTorque Screws	Thread Form	Increase in major to minor diameter ratio increases pull-out strength Thread shape/form maximizes bone purchase and allows for a better bite
	Two Aggressive Cutting Flutes	Self-tapping
	Reverse Cutting Flutes	Full thread flute allows for easy removal, which is unique to most cannulated screws
	Spherical Screw Head	Strengthens the screw and improves fatigue life (smoother transition from the screw head to screw shaft) Low-profile Reduces soft tissue irritation
	Partially Threaded	Allows for compression Short and long thread lengths allow the surgeon to have options in relation to the fracture line
	Blunt Tip	Reduces tendon irritation, unique feature

	Driver Handles	Ergonomically designed to ensure comfortable and efficient use Ratchet style
	Guide Wires	Threaded and non-threaded wires made of high-strength stainless steel alloy
