The system uses Ti 6-4 ELI and an arc-based design that increases proximal-to-distal compression and retains compressive integrity after cyclic bending and relaxation testing. Guidance covers sizing and bone preparation, stabilization and drilling, staple insertion and optional tamping, arc-generated compression principles, and stacking options. It also includes mechanical evaluation findings, ordering information, and clinical indications and contraindications.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/healthcare/","Healthcare",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/arcus-staple-system-surgical-technique/289081/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/arcus-staple-system-surgical-technique/289081.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"Clementine","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-23","2026-09-17",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":55},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",10,{"@type":57,"mainEntity":58},"FAQPage",[59,65,69],{"name":60,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":62},"What mechanical performance does the Arcus Staple System demonstrate in testing?","Question",{"text":63,"@type":64},"Testing showed the system maintained compressive forces across the simulated fracture site after relaxation and after cyclic bending.

Drill first hole until the stop meets Drill Guide bushing.  \n3. Insert Staple  \nUsing Staple Inserter Assembly, insert staple. Remove Inserter from Staple by twisting knob counter-clockwise until lever arm is free, then tilt Inserter forward or backward.  \n2. Stabilize  \nInsert Stabilization Pin. Prior to drilling second hole, ensure osteotomy/fracture is fully reduced. Drill second hole. Remove Pin and Drill Guide.  \n4. Optional Tamping  \nIf Staple bridge is not fully seated on bone, Inserter may be used as a tamp. First re-engage lever arm under knob and twist clockwise. Place flat end of knob on  \nstaple and gently impact until fully seated.  \nMallet not included  \nArc-Generated Compression  \nFixation Plane  \nArc Compression Generation Plane  \nCompression is created in the Arc Compression Plane.
