Body Heat Activated for Continuous Compression
The WishBone Medical Memory Staple is a form of fixation for arthrodesis, osteotomy and fracture fixation.1, 2 Available in 22 sizes, a wide selection makes the Memory Staple ideal for most applications in the foot, ankle, hand and wrist.
Low profile design: Only the bridge portion of the Memory Staple stays above the bone, maintaining a low profile.
DYNAMIC COMPRESSION
Made from Nitinol memory alloy, the Memory Staple is fully activated at 98.6°F (37°C), patient body temperature.* Nitinol staples have been shown to produce dynamic compression over time.1
