Screw and Peg Options:

The VariAx 2 screws offer ±15 degrees of angulation¹. A lip on the drill sleeve engages and allows for toggling within the hole. The range in which the drill guide toggles creates a 30-degree cone, with each angle within this range serving as a locking position. The 2.0mm drill guide for T8 screws facilitates drilling a 2.0mm pilot hole for either a 2.4mm or 2.7mm T8 screw, or a 2.0mm peg for both locking and non-locking screws.
