Metal Toxicity - Bone, joint, tissue and organ contamination as metal fragments and corrosive elements are distributed throughout the body via the bloodstream which can cause a range of health problems.

Metallosis - A medical condition where metal debris builds up in body tissues causing pain, infections, inflammation, confusion, swelling, dizziness, bone deterioration, headaches, gastrointestinal, neurological & other complications.

For Patients Needing Bone Fracture Repair Or Surgeries Involving The Foot, Hand, Wrist, Ankle, Elbow, & Other Small Bone Corrective Procedures

If you need to have a bone related surgery such as a bunion correction or fracture repair where metal screws are required to hold the bone in place while it heals, your doctor can use a traditional screw designed to permanently stay in the body. But now you can choose the innovative bone fixation screw from SafetyFix that can quickly and easily be removed as soon as your bone has sufficiently healed, usually after 12 weeks. By removing the screw, the risk of short and long term complications and health problems from metal toxicity is greatly reduced because there is no metal or unnatural foreign material that remains inside your body.

The Traditional Approach The typical approach to holding bones together so they can properly heal after bone-related surgery is to use traditional bone screws that permanently stay inside the patient’s body. Over time, metal in the body begins to corrode and break down which can cause short & long term health issues due to metal toxicity and a range of serious health conditions including metallosis and others.

The Removable SafetyFix Approach The SafetyFix removable screw is the first & only surgical bone fixation screw designed to easily be removed from the body as soon as proper healing has occurred. The innovative SafetyFix bone fixation screw significantly reduces the risk of health problems by eliminating metal exposure in the body and the potential toxicity and serious medical complications that can result.

“ When I learned I had to have bunion surgery, I decided to have the

procedure done with the SafetyFix screw which my doctor easily re- moved in 2 minutes once my bones had healed....now I have the peace of mind knowing

that I am metal-free with- out the risk of long term health problems from

possible metal toxicity...” - Lauren M. (Patient)

“ As someone who is health conscious & works hard to limit my exposure to unhealthy ingredients in food as well as toxic chemicals, I was very happy when my doc- tor recommended the SafetyFix screw to fix my metatarsal

fracture. It was a big relief not having to worry about possible side effects &

complications from having the metal screws stay in my body…”
