ECA Medical Instruments introduced its new TruTORQ® and TruPWR® family of single-procedure, precision torque limiting instruments.
The TruTORQ hand-operated family of torque limiters is ergonomic by design and features all popular handle styles and connectors, including industry standard ¼ sq and AO for quick connect with customer drivers and shafts. Torque set points are from .5Nm to 14Nm, covering the full range of sports medicine, CMF, orthopaedic trauma and extremities plate and screw and ex fix systems, and demanding spine and large joint implants and constructs.
ECA’s TruPWR line of speed-controlled torque limiting adaptors mates with both Stryker and ConMed power tools. Torque limiting set points range from .8Nm to 14Nm making them ideal for trauma, ex fix, extremity, spine, and large joint implant cases. Securing plates, screws and constructs safely and accurately under power, including lengthy and complex scoliosis procedures, can reduce surgeon fatigue and improve operating room turnover. Over 1,000 TruPWR scoliosis procedures have been successfully performed to date.
The instruments feature medical grade polymers and torque limiting technology. Both TruTORQ and TruPWR have audible feedback and tactile feel features to indicate torque achievement. The instruments are available sterile pack and surgery ready with all validations, or nonsterile to fit into legacy sterile pack sets to help OEMs private label and distribute across their sales channels, hospitals, and ambulatory surgical center (ASC) customers.
Sterile pack TruTORQ and TruPWR instruments and implants are surgery ready on the hospital or ASC shelf ready to support a surgery. This allows sales reps to engage more effectively with surgeons, expand and scale their business and support more difficult cases.
TruTORQ and TruPWR products are also designed to eliminate the expense of reprocessing dirty reusable instruments. Studies have shown that single-procedure instruments, like TruTORQ and TruPWR, yield a 30% to 40% reduction in carbon footprint compared to traditional reusables.
