Zimmer 07.00442.001 ST360° Right Angle Anti-Torque Handle

Zimmer ST360° Anti-Torque Handle | Right Angle | 07.00442.001 | Reusable

The Zimmer 07.00442.001 is a specialized high-torque manual instrument designed to provide counter-leverage during the insertion of orthopedic implants. Featuring a unique Right Angle (90°) configuration, this handle is a critical component of the ST360° system, engineered to neutralize the rotational forces (torque) generated when tightening locking bolts, pedicle screws, or large-fragment fixations.

By allowing the surgeon to apply an equal and opposite "anti-torque" force perpendicular to the drive axis, the 07.00442.001 prevents the unintended rotation of the primary implant or the "plowing" of screws within the bone. This is particularly vital in spinal deformity correction and complex pelvic reconstructions where precise fixed-angle alignment must be maintained.

Key Specifications

• Manufacturer: Zimmer (Zimmer Biomet)

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Right-Angle Mechanical Advantage: The 90° offset design provides superior leverage compared to straight handles, allowing the surgical assistant or surgeon to stabilize the construct with significantly less physical effort.

• Compact Low-Profile Head: Engineered to fit into tight anatomical corridors where a standard T-handle or straight anti-torque wrench would be obstructed by soft tissue or retractors.

• Anti-Torque Stability: This handle is essential for "final tightening" phases. It isolates the torque to the screw head, protecting the bone-to-implant interface from transverse stress and ensuring the locking mechanism reaches its full rated Newton-meter (Nm) capacity.

• Ergonomic Force Distribution: The handle geometry is contoured to reduce wrist strain, providing a secure, non-slip grip even when used with double-gloving in high-fluid environments.

• Zimmer Industrial Forging: Forged from high-tensile stainless steel, the 07.00442.001 is built to withstand extreme rotational loads without flexing, maintaining its structural integrity through years of heavy trauma and reconstructive use.

Applications

• Spine Surgery: Stabilizing pedicle screw-to-rod constructs during final nut tightening.

• Orthopedic Trauma: Providing counter-leverage when seating large 6.5mm or 7.3mm cannulated screws.

• Intramedullary Nailing: Anti-torque support during the insertion of proximal or distal locking bolts.

• Pelvic Reconstruction: Managing high-torque fixations in deep, restricted-access surgical sites.

Condition & Quality Assurance

• Status: Used – Good Usable Condition.

• Maintenance: This instrument shows visible signs of professional use (minor surface scuffs and cosmetic wear consistent with standard tray storage and repeated sterilization), but it remains fully functional. The internal drive interface is crisp, the right-angle head is securely seated, and the stainless steel frame is perfectly aligned.

• Professional Standards: With over 25 years of experience in surgical instrumentation and hospital materials, Primis Medical ensures all Zimmer orthopedic tools are function-verified and ultrasonically cleaned prior to shipment.

Shipping & Handling

• Secure Logistics: Shipped in protective, padded packaging to ensure the right-angle linkage and quick-connect interface arrive in factory-standard condition.

• Fast Dispatch: Ships within 1 business day.
