Nitinol compression staples may provide unique benefits in a wide variety of surgeries in the extremities. Nitinol staples provide constant compression across an osteotomy site and may potentially increase friction and counteract shearing forces. It ensures good approximation of bone fragments with dynamic compression. Some studies have shown that in some cases, staples require less operating room time when compared to some bone screws.1Contact Us
