Synthes 204.040 3.5MM Cortex Screw 40MM

Synthes 204.040 3.5MM Cortex Screw 40MM

The Synthes 204.040 is a foundational internal fixation implant designed for secure anchorage in dense cortical bone. As a 3.5mm diameter screw with a 40mm length, it is a core component of the Synthes Small Fragment System. This screw is engineered to provide maximum structural stability in diaphyseal bone, making it a primary choice for treating fractures of the forearm (radius/ulna), fibula, and larger fragments of the humerus or tibia.

Additional product details

• Forged from implant-grade 316L Stainless Steel, the 204.040 features a standard cortical thread pitch specifically calibrated to "bite" into the hard outer shell of the bone.
• Manufacturer: Synthes (DePuy Synthes)
• Screw Diameter: 3.5 mm
• Thread Profile: Fully Threaded (Standard Cortical)
• Screw Length: 40 mm
• Thread Pitch: 1.25 mm
• Core Diameter: 2.4 mm
• Head Type: 6.0 mm Head with 2.5 mm Hexagonal Socket
• Quantity: Individually Packaged, Sterile
• High-Torque Hex Drive: The 2.5 mm hexagonal recess is engineered to transmit the significant torque required to seat the screw into dense bone without the risk of "cam-out" or stripping the screw head.
• Low-Profile Spherical Head: The head geometry is precisely calibrated 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 encountered during the early stages 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 3.5 mm small fragment plating systems.
• Malleolar Fixation: Stabilization of lateral malleolus fractures where 40 mm of depth provides sufficient bicortical purchase.
• Pelvic Reconstruction: Use in small-fragment pelvic sets for the stabilization of specific 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.
