Synthes 294.786 5.0mm Self-drilling Schanz Screw 80mm Thread Length /200mm

Synthes 294.786 5.0mm Self-drilling Schanz Screw 80mm Thread Length /200mm

As a 5.0mm diameter Schanz screw with an extended 200mm length, it provides the structural rigidity required to stabilize major long-bone fractures in the femur and tibia.

Technical specifications

• Brand: Synthes
• Reference / model: 294.786
• Model: / REF: 294.786
• Material: 316L Stainless Steel (High-Strength Surgical Grade)
• Dimensions / sizes: 5.0mm, 80mm

Additional product details

• The Self-Drilling tip is a critical advancement in trauma surgery. It features a sharp, trocar-style cutting geometry that allows the screw to be inserted directly into the bone using a power driver.
• Manufacturer: Synthes (DePuy Synthes)
• Screw Diameter: 5.0 mm
• Thread Length: 80 mm (Extended Reach)
• Total Length: 200 mm
• Tip Profile: Self-Drilling / Self-Tapping
• Compatibility: Large Fragment External Fixator Clamps (11.0mm Rod Systems)
• Sterility: Non-Sterile (Requires validated steam sterilization prior to use)
• Extended 80mm Thread: The unusually long 80mm threaded section is specifically designed for high-volume metaphyseal bone or for "oblique" insertion techniques.
• Self-Drilling Efficiency: The integrated drill tip allows for rapid bicortical engagement. This is essential in "damage control" orthopedics, where quick stabilization of unstable, life-threatening fractures is paramount.
• High Fatigue Resistance: Manufactured from cold-worked 316L stainless steel, the 294.786 is engineered to withstand the massive bending moments and cyclic loads encountered in weight-bearing lower-extremity trauma.
• Damage Control Orthopedics: Rapid stabilization of femoral and tibial shaft fractures in polytrauma scenarios.
• Pelvic Stabilization: Ideal for supra-acetabular pin placement in anterior pelvic external fixators where deep bony purchase (80mm thread) is required for stability.
• Large Fragment Trauma: Providing a stable spanning construct across complex, comminuted knee or ankle fractures.
• Segmental Stabilization: Use in bone transport or limb-lengthening frames where extended length and robust thread purchase are mandatory.
• Status: NEW — Original Manufacturer's Packaging.
• Integrity: This instrument is new. As a non-sterile implant, it must be inspected for thread integrity and processed through a validated sterilization cycle (typically steam autoclaving) in accordance with hospital protocols and Synthes IFU (Instructions for Use).
