Synthes 201.018 2.0mm Cortex Screw 18mm

Synthes 201.018 2.0mm Cortex Screw 18mm

As a 2.0mm diameter screw with an 18mm length, it is a fundamental component of the Synthes 2.0mm Mini-Fragment System. This screw is specifically designed for procedures where bone fragments are too delicate for standard small-fragment hardware but require the high torque and pull-out resistance provided by a dedicated cortical thread profile.

Technical specifications

• Brand: Synthes
• Reference / model: 201.018
• Model: / REF: 201.018
• Material: 316L Stainless Steel (Surgical Grade)
• Diameter: 2.0 mm
• Dimensions / sizes: 2.0mm, 18mm

Additional product details

• Constructed from 316L Surgical Stainless Steel, the 201.018 features a shallow thread pitch and a relatively large core diameter, maximizing the shear strength of the screw.
• Manufacturer: Synthes (DePuy Synthes)
• Length: 18 mm
• Thread Type: Fully Threaded (Cortical Profile)
• Core Diameter: 1.3 mm
• Drill Bit Compatibility: 1.5 mm (Pilot Hole)
• Drive Type: 1.5 mm Cruciform or Hexagonal (Depending on lot)
• Quantity: 1 Each
• High-Density Cortical Purchase: The shallow threads are precision-machined to engage the dense outer layer of bone.
• Precision Fixation: Specifically designed for use in "lagging" techniques. By over-drilling the near cortex with a 2.0mm bit and the far cortex with a 1.5mm bit, this screw can be used to achieve direct interfragmentary compression.
• Surgical-Grade 316L Stainless Steel: Cold-worked for maximum strength, the material is highly biocompatible and corrosion-resistant, meeting the rigorous standards for long-term implantation.
• Hand & Wrist Surgery: Fixation of metacarpal and phalangeal shaft fractures.
• Pediatric Orthopedics: Stabilization of small bone fractures in pediatric patients where larger implants would interfere with growth plates or anatomical constraints.
• Craniomaxillofacial (CMF): Fixation of small bone flaps or fractures in the mandible and midface.
• Podiatric Surgery: Stabilization of delicate fractures or osteotomies in the forefoot.
• Status: NEW — Factory Sealed.
• Integrity: This implant is securely packaged within its original manufacturer's sterile or non-sterile packaging (depending on lot). It is untouched and maintains its original material integrity for clinical use in 2026.
• Note: If provided non-sterile, this device must be cleaned and sterilized (standard steam autoclave) according to hospital protocols and Synthes’ Instructions for Use (IFU) prior to implantation.
