Synthes 400.609 1.2mm TI Emergency Screw w/Fluted Tip 9mm 5 PK

Synthes 400.609 1.2mm TI Emergency Screw w/Fluted Tip 9mm 5PK

• Model: 400.609 Synthes
• 1.2mm
• A small, threaded, non-bioabsorbable, implantable rod intended for internal orthopaedic fixation by being screwed into a limb bone, rib, the sternum and/or pelvis to hold a plate, nail, rod or prosthesis to the bone, or to provide direct interfragmentary stabilization of a fractured bone; it is not intended to be introduced through the sleeve of a femoral neck fixation plate/sleeve, not used in dentistry/orthodontics, craniofacial or spinal bones, and not dedicated to intramedullary fixation/arthrodesis. It typically has a cortical or cancellous design and has a drive (e.g., slot, cross, star, polygonal) at its proximal end for introduction with a screwdriver.

The Synthes 400.609 is a titanium emergency screw with a 1.2 mm diameter and 9 mm length, featuring a fluted tip and a cruciform (cross‑slot) recess for precise driver engagement. It's specifically designed for craniofacial instrument and module systems, especially compact midface applications, and is intended for single-use. This screw serves as a reliable fallback option during emergencies, such as when a micro‑screw becomes stripped or damaged during procedures.

Fabricated from biocompatible titanium, the 400.609 balances both strength and minimal implant footprint—ideal for delicate craniofacial fixation. The fluted tip streamlines insertion through bone, improving ease of placement in critical scenarios. The cruciform recess head enhances driver stability, reducing the likelihood of slippage or stripping—an important safety feature during emergency or time‑sensitive implant operations.
