Synthes 208.440 6.5mm Cannulated Screw 32mm Thread 90mm

• Model: 208.440
• 6.5mm
• 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 208.440 is a 6.5 mm cannulated screw designed for orthopedic applications requiring precise fixation in small bone structures. With a length of 90 mm and a thread length of 32 mm, this screw is suitable for stabilizing fractures in areas where longer screw lengths are necessary. Its 2.75 mm thread pitch ensures secure engagement with cortical bone, while the 4.5 mm core diameter provides strength without compromising the screw's flexibility. The 7.9 mm head diameter allows for optimal seating within the plate, and the 2.9 mm cannulation facilitates the use of a guide wire for accurate placement.

Crafted from high-quality stainless steel, the 208.440 screw offers excellent biocompatibility and resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for long-term implantation. The hexagonal socket head type (4.0 mm) ensures a secure fit with the appropriate driver, allowing for precise torque application during insertion. Its cannulated design enables the use of a guide wire, facilitating minimally invasive procedures and reducing trauma to surrounding tissues.
