Manufactured under ISO 13485:2016 and CE certifications. Direct factory supply engineered for trauma centers, university hospitals, and orthopaedics distributors across the Kingdom of Morocco.
The Herbert compression screw represents a pivotal advancement in orthopedic trauma hardware. Unlike traditional lag screws with prominent external heads that risk soft-tissue irritation, impingement, and cartilage erosion, headless cannulated screws are designed for full intraosseous implantation. This structural design enables secure osteosynthesis while preserving articular surfaces across wrist, hand, foot, and ankle joint structures.
The core mechanical mechanism relies on differential pitch engineering between the leading (distal) and trailing (proximal) thread profiles. As the surgeon drives the implant across a fracture line, the trailing threads advance into the proximal fragment at a slightly smaller pitch distance per 360-degree rotation than the leading threads driving into the distal bone fragment.
This subtle thread pitch gradient draws the two bone fragments together, generating high rigid interfragmentary compression. Bone compression remains the primary biomechanical prerequisite for primary bone healing (without periosteal callus formation), minimizing nonunion risks in anatomical regions with limited vascularity such as the scaphoid waist and talar neck.
As the Kingdom of Morocco modernizes its medical infrastructure, demand for specialized orthopedic implants has increased significantly. Our Herbert compression screws are engineered to support surgical techniques across public university hospitals (Centres Hospitaliers Universitaires - CHU) and private healthcare facilities.
In high-density orthopedic hubs such as Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Ibn Rochd (Casablanca) and CHU Ibn Sina (Rabat), acute carpal injuries—specifically acute scaphoid fractures and chronic nonunions—are frequent. Our 2.2mm micro and 3.0mm mini Herbert cannulated screws enable percutaneous volar or dorsal approaches, delivering rigid internal compression while reducing rehabilitation times for working-class populations.
Regional sports trauma clinics servicing athletic injuries in Marrakech, Agadir, and Tangier frequently perform arthroscopic osteochondral lesion repairs of the talus (OLT) and distal radius articular reconstructions. Threaded headless compression implants allow precise countersinking beneath subchondral cartilage layers, facilitating early joint mobilization and accelerated postoperative recovery.
Private clinical groups and public health procurement networks across Fez, Meknes, and Oujda increasingly demand standardized cannulated screws for hallux valgus corrective surgeries (Akin and Scarf osteotomies), interphalangeal arthrodesis, and calcaneal osteotomies. Our standardized color-coded drill guides streamline workflow efficiencies across busy operating theaters.
Morocco's orthopedic implant landscape is undergoing significant transformation, accelerated by structural healthcare reforms under the expanding Assurance Maladie Obligatoire (AMO) universal coverage framework. This legislative push has increased patient access to elective and traumatic orthopedic procedures in both public CHU institutions and private clinics.
To supply medical devices within the Kingdom of Morocco, international manufacturers and local distributors must comply with registration procedures managed by the Direction du Médicament et de la Pharmacie (DMP) under the Ministry of Health (Ministère de la Santé et de la Protection Sociale). Key regulatory requirements include:
Historically, Moroccan hospitals relied heavily on Western European suppliers. However, rising procurement costs have shifted institutional demand toward established OEM manufacturers capable of offering CE-marked quality at direct factory pricing.
Our supply chain model supports Moroccan importers through direct shipping to major logistics hubs including Port Tanger Med and Casablanca Port/Airport Hubs, backed by full customs clearance documentation and certificate of origin authentication.

Operating from a 62,391 sq. ft. modern facility in Gujarat, India (Sharma Orthopedic India Limited / SF Bay Medical network), our production floor utilizes Swiss-type automatic lathes and 5-axis CNC machining centers to produce high-precision medical implants.
Our Citizen and DMG MORI multi-axis CNC machines maintain tight dimensional tolerances (±0.005mm) across complex thread pitches, internal hex drives, and internal cannulation pathways.
All implants undergo multi-stage ultrasonic cleaning and passivation prior to sealed packaging within controlled cleanroom environments, preventing pyrogenic and bio-burden contamination.
Every lot is subjected to micro-hardness testing, torque failure analysis, thread pitch optical comparators, and coordinate measuring machine (CMM) inspections before release.
