ABSTRACT

A high-torque fastener having a threaded shaft and a star-shaped head is
disclosed. The high-torque fastener is made of a resorbable or other
non-magnetic material. A mating driver snugly fits around the star-shaped head
of the fastener, to thereby apply torque to the perimeter of the star-shaped
head. The driver can be made disposable, and the driver and fastener packaged
together in a single, disposable, assembly. Additionally, the driver can be
color coded to indicate the size of the fastener which is pre-attached to the
driver in the packaging.
