Synthes 202.826 2.7mm Cortex Screw Self-Tapping 26mm Orthopedic Hardware

Synthes 202.826 2.7mm Cortex Screw Self-Tapping 26mm Orthopedic Hardware

As a 2.7mm diameter screw with an extended 26mm length, it is a specialized component of the Synthes Small Fragment and Mini-Fragment LCP (Locking Compression Plate) sets. This screw is engineered to provide stable, bicortical fixation in mid-sized bones or thick cortical regions of the hand, foot, and distal radius.

Technical specifications

Additional product details

• The Self-Tapping distal tip features precision-machined cutting flutes that carve a matching thread path as the screw is advanced into a 2.0mm pilot hole.
• Manufacturer: Synthes (DePuy Synthes)
• Screw Diameter: 2.7 mm
• Thread Profile: Self-Tapping / Fully Threaded
• Screw Length: 26 mm (Extended Length)
• Thread Pitch: 1.0 mm
• Core Diameter: 1.9 mm
• Head Type: 5.0 mm Head with Small Hexagonal Socket
• Quantity: Individually Packaged, Sterile
• It allows for secure engagement of both the near and far cortex in the metacarpals, metatarsals, or fibula.
• Small Hexagonal Drive: The hexagonal recess is designed to transmit precise torque without the risk of "cam-out." This is essential for the 202.826, as the longer 26mm interface creates more friction during insertion than shorter variants.
• Low-Profile Head Design: The 5.0mm spherical head sits flush within the non-locking portion of Synthes LCP Combi-holes or standard 2.7mm DCP (Dynamic Compression Plate) holes, reducing palpable hardware and soft-tissue irritation.
• 316L Stainless Steel Biocompatibility: Cold-worked for high fatigue strength, the material is biologically inert and designed to maintain its mechanical properties throughout the biological stages of bone healing.
• Hand & Wrist Surgery: Bicortical fixation of long-segment metacarpal fractures or corrective osteotomies.
• Foot & Ankle Surgery: Stabilization of metatarsal shaft fractures or midfoot fusions where 26mm of depth is required.
• Trauma Surgery: Fixation of cortical fragments in the distal radius or fibula.
• Mini-Fragment Plating: Used as a compression or neutralization screw within 2.7mm plating constructs requiring deep purchase.
• Status: NEW — Factory Sealed & Sterile.
• Integrity: This implant is securely packaged within its original manufacturer's sterile peel-pouch. The packaging is intact, ensuring the product's sterility, material integrity, and full lot traceability for clinical implantation in 2026.
