In the Kingdom of Eswatini, the demand for high-quality orthopedic implants has surged alongside the modernization of healthcare facilities in major hubs like Mbabane and Manzini. As the nation invests in specialized sports medicine and trauma care, the need for reliable Interference Screws—critical for ACL/PCL reconstructions—has become paramount.
Eswatini's medical sector, supported by both government initiatives and private clinics, requires a steady supply of CE-certified implants that can withstand the rigors of clinical practice. Our role as a leading exporter to the Southern African Development Community (SADC) ensures that hospitals in Eswatini have access to the same technological advancements found in Europe or North America.
From the Mbabane Government Hospital to private orthopedic clinics, our interference screws are used in minimally invasive arthroscopic surgeries to treat football injuries and industrial accidents common in the region's agricultural and mining sectors.
Utilizing logistics corridors through South Africa and Mozambique, we ensure rapid delivery of orthopedic components to Eswatini, minimizing surgical downtime.
Changsha WEX Medical Instruments Co., Ltd. has more than two decades of innovation and production in orthopedic implants. Our products, branded "WEX", are synonymous with precision and reliability.
Years Experience
13485:2003 Certified
Advanced CNC Machines
Clean Workshop
We specialize in PEEK (Polyether ether ketone), PLLA (Bioabsorbable), and Titanium/Stainless Steel. These materials are selected for their biocompatibility, modulus of elasticity, and long-term stability in human tissue.
Utilizing CNC sliding headstock auto-lathes and milling centers, we achieve tolerances within microns, ensuring that every interference screw provides optimal graft fixation torque.
All products hold CE and ISO9001 certifications. Our quality management system covers the entire lifecycle from R&D to clinical insurance, ensuring safety for patients in Eswatini and beyond.

The global sports medicine market is shifting towards biocomposite materials and minimally invasive instrumentation. For Eswatini's surgeons, this means screws that eventually integrate with the bone (osteointegration) or provide superior pull-out strength without MRI interference.
Next-generation PLLA/PGA polymers allow for gradual load transfer to the healing ligament, reducing "stress shielding" effects common in metallic screws.
Our PEEK and 316L non-magnetic ranges are critical for post-operative monitoring in Eswatini's growing diagnostic centers, where imaging clarity is vital.
PEEK (Polyether ether ketone) offers a modulus of elasticity similar to human bone, which reduces stress shielding. It is also completely radiolucent, allowing surgeons to see the healing process clearly on X-rays and MRIs without the metal artifacts caused by titanium screws.
We have extensive experience exporting to the Kingdom of Eswatini. Orders are typically routed through Durban or Maputo and cleared via the Oshoek or Ngwenya border posts. We provide all necessary certificates of origin and medical documentation to ensure smooth customs clearance.
Yes, our cannulated interference screws are designed to be compatible with universal driver systems. We also provide dedicated instrument sets (as seen in our product list) for surgeons who prefer a complete, integrated system from a single manufacturer.
Our bioabsorbable screws are double-packed and gamma-sterilized. In a controlled storage environment (cool and dry), they have a validated shelf life of 2-3 years. We ensure that all products shipped to Eswatini have maximum remaining shelf life.
WEX Medical has completed clinical insurance and extensive in-vivo testing in collaboration with orthopedic experts in major domestic hospitals. Data regarding pull-out strength, degradation rates, and biocompatibility is available upon request for medical directors and procurement officers.
“Be professional for manufacturing high-quality products, be wholehearted for serving customers.” This mantra drives every CNC turn and every quality check in our facility, ensuring that every patient in Eswatini receives the best possible orthopedic outcome.
