Synthes 204.016 3.5mm Cortex Screw 16mm Orthopedic Surgical Instrument

Synthes 204.016 3.5mm Cortex Screw 16mm Orthopedic Surgical Instrument

The Synthes 204.016 is a foundational internal fixation implant designed for secure anchorage in dense cortical bone. As a 3.5mm diameter screw with a 16mm length, it is a core component of the Synthes Small Fragment System. This screw is engineered to provide maximum stability in diaphyseal bone, making it a primary choice for treating fractures of the forearm, fibula, and small fragments of the humerus and tibia.

• Low-Profile Spherical Head: The head geometry is precisely engineered to sit flush within the counter-sunk holes of Synthes DCP (Dynamic Compression Plates), LC-DCP (Limited Contact), and LCP (Locking Compression Plates) systems.
• 316L Stainless Steel Biocompatibility: Cold-worked for high fatigue strength, the material is biologically inert and designed to withstand the cyclic loads of functional rehabilitation.
• Trauma Surgery: Fixation of diaphyseal fractures in the radius, ulna, and fibula.
• Plate Fixation: Serving as a "neutralization" or "compression" screw when used through 3.5mm small fragment plating systems.
• Malleolar Fixation: Stabilization of lateral malleolus fractures where 16mm of depth provides sufficient bicortical purchase.
• Pelvic Reconstruction: Use in small-fragment pelvic sets for the stabilization of certain acetabular or pelvic ring fractures.
• 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.
