Synthes 206.018 4.0mm Cancellous Bone Screw Fully Threaded 18mm

Synthes 206.018 4.0mm Cancellous Bone Screw Fully Threaded 18mm

• Model: 206.018
• 4.0mm
• A small, non-sterile, threaded rod with a slotted head typically used for internal orthopedic fracture fixation by being screwed into bone to hold plates or nails to bone or to provide direct interfragmentary stabilization of bone, or it may fasten soft tissue to bone; it is made of a material that cannot be chemically degraded or absorbed via natural body processes (includes implant grade metal such as surgical steel, titanium alloy, or carbon fiber).
• Screws available are: cortical, cancellous, malleolar, scaphoid, partially-threaded and fully-threaded, self-tapping, and cannulated.
• A "lag screw" can be any of these used to obtain compression.
• This device must be sterilized before use.

The Synthes 206.018 4.0 mm cancellous screw is a workhorse implant ideal for securing fractures within soft, spongy bone typically found near joint surfaces. Its fully threaded design, featuring a compact 7 mm threaded length, maximizes bone contact and compression, reducing the risk of fragment migration and improving stability in cancellous zones. The stainless steel construction ensures both durability and resistance to corrosion—qualities essential for enduring fixation.

Crafted with a small hexagonal socket head, the screw offers excellent torque transmission during insertion, reducing driver slippage and streamlining operative workflow. Compatibility with standard 2.5 mm threaded-hole drill bits allows for smooth integration with existing surgical setups, ensuring that this screw can be adopted without requiring specialized instruments. Its balanced shaft-to-thread ratio reinforces its strength without compromising workability in constrained anatomic spaces.
