MedTorque Launches Silicone Handle Ratchets in Europe

December 3, 2015

Silicone handle instruments manufacturer MedTorque has launched its Tri-Gear silicone handle ratchets for use in orthopedic and spine surgeries in Europe.

The device utilizes three gears with 20 interlocking teeth that enable forward and reverse functionality, while traditional orthopedic ratcheting instruments utilize a two-pawl design with just one or two teeth for each direction.

Tri-Gear ratchets are available in axial/in-line, t-handle and palm styles. — Michael Cipriano
