Kyon Bone-Screw Rack
Kyon Bone-Screw Rack
The design of the rack makes it possible to find the required bone screws of the right length and thickness immediately as each screw only fits in its intended place. A nitinol flat spring holds the screws made of a titanium alloy at their tip in a special rack. Inside the screwdriver recess, they are held by a pointed protrusion that arises from the body of the rack. The retaining force allows for machine or ultrasonic washing, high-pressure steam cleaning and autoclaving.
Statement by the Jury
Thanks to the sophisticated design, this rack helps finding the right screw quickly. It also increases hygiene by making the cleaning process more convenient.
