Synthes 202.822 2.7mm Cortex Screw Self Tapping 22mm

Synthes 202.822 2.7mm Cortex Screw Self Tapping 22mm

As a 2.7mm diameter screw with a 22mm length, it is a foundational component of the Synthes 2.7mm Small Fragment System, commonly utilized in the fixation of fractures in the hand, wrist, and foot.

Technical specifications

• Brand: Synthes
• Reference / model: 202.822
• Model: / REF: 202.822
• Material: 316L Surgical Stainless Steel
• Diameter: 2.7 mm
• Overall Length: 22 mm

Additional product details

• The self-tapping design features precision-machined cutting flutes at the distal tip. While a pilot hole must still be drilled (typically using a 2.0mm drill bit), the screw eliminates the need for a separate tapping step by cutting its own internal threads as it advances.
• Manufacturer: Synthes (DePuy Synthes)
• Thread Pitch: 1.0 mm (Standard Cortex Pitch)
• Drive Type: Cruciform Recess / StarDrive (Verify per set configuration)
• Features: Self-Tapping Distal Flutes
• Quantity: 1 Each
• The 22mm length is ideal for achieving bicortical purchase in the metatarsals, metacarpals, or the distal radius.
• Low-Profile Head Design: The screw head is engineered to sit flush within Synthes 2.7mm plating systems (such as LCP or distal radius plates).
• 316L Stainless Steel Biocompatibility: Forged from vacuum-melted surgical steel, the 202.822 offers the high fatigue strength and corrosion resistance required for long-term internal fixation throughout the 2026 recovery cycle.
• Hand & Wrist Surgery: Fixation of metacarpal and phalangeal fractures, and distal radius plate stabilization.
• Foot & Ankle Surgery: Fixation of small bone fragments in the midfoot, metatarsals, or phalanges of the toes.
• Small Fragment Trauma: Supplemental fixation for avulsion fractures where a larger 3.5mm screw would be too intrusive.
• Pediatric Trauma: Stable fixation of fragments where a 2.7mm diameter provides necessary strength while respecting smaller anatomical scales.
• Status: NEW — Factory Sealed.
• Integrity: This implant is securely housed within its original manufacturer's packaging. Both inner and outer seals are intact, ensuring full material integrity and suitability for clinical use.
