ECA Medical Chooses Solvay’s Ixef PARA for Torque Limiting Instruments

Solvay’s medical-grade Ixef® polyarylamide (PARA) was selected by ECA Medical Instruments to manufacture its new TruTORQ®and TruPWR® family of single-procedure, precision torque-limiting instruments for orthopedic and spine procedures.

TruTORQ and TruPWR instruments provide audible feedback and tactile feel features to indicate torque achievement. They deliver performance similar to that of reusable instruments while minimizing carbon footprint and lowering costs.

Ixef PARA compounds offer metal-like strength, rigidity and dimensional stability, while providing a high-quality surface. They are optimized for sterilization using high-energy gamma radiation without significant changes in appearance or performance, and are available in a range of gamma-stabilized colors.
