Here are five things to know:

 

1. The Model 300 Secure-Fast ratcheting system is designed to reduce surgical costs by more than $1,000 per surgery.

 

2. The device is designed for pristine ratcheting capabilities for securing screws, fasteners and connectors used in the demanding orthopedic procedures. The areas of the body include trauma, extremities and spine.

 

3. The ratchet is bi-directional and fully cannulated, so surgeons can use it during minimally invasive surgery where speed, safety and implant fixation are critical.

 

4. The device can be used during inpatient or outpatient procedures as an alternative to reusable ratchets. The Model 300 Secure-Fast does not require cleaning, reprocessing or re-sterilization.

 

5. The ratchet reduces the risk of surgical site infection because each device arrives in a sterile-packed case.
