Monster® BITE Snap-Off Screw System
The Monster BITE Snap-Off Screw System is an all-inclusive set housing 22 implants
as well as the accompanying instrumentation. The 2.0 mm screws are offered in
two thread lengths (1/2 and ¾ thread) and are available in lengths from 8-16 mm.
The 2.7 mm screws are offered with one thread length (1/2 thread) and are available
in lengths from 10-24 mm. The instrumentation provided in the system is designed to
help maintain bony alignment during screw placement.
The Weil Clamp is intended to help provide maintenance of the osteotomy while placing
the Monster BITE Snap-Off Screw. Likewise, the counter lever was designed to help to
prevent stripping of the screw or osteotomy fragment shift while manually breaking
the pin from the screw in instances where the pin does not break away when the screw
head hits the cortex.
Design Rationale
The Monster BITE Snap-Off Screws were designed to break away from the pin at
unique torque values which correspond to each screw diameter, thread length
and screw length. This design is intended to seat the screw with the head flush
against the bone, minimizing prominence. Additionally, the breakaway point is
below the head of the screw, which also contributes toward the reduction of
soft tissue irritation.
