Synthes 201.622 2.4mm Cortex Screw Self-Tapping/22mm

As a 2.4mm diameter screw with a 22mm length, it is a foundational component of the Synthes 2.4mm Small Fragment System.

Technical specifications

• Brand: Synthes
• Reference / model: 201.622
• Model: / REF: 201.622
• Material: 316L Surgical Stainless Steel
• Diameter: 2.4 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 1.8mm 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 provides sufficient depth for bicortical purchase in the metacarpals, metatarsals, or distal radius.
• Low-Profile Head Design: The screw head is designed to sit flush within Synthes 2.4mm plating systems (such as LCP or distal radius plates).
• 316L Stainless Steel Biocompatibility: Forged from vacuum-melted surgical steel, the 201.622 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 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 small fragments where a 2.4mm diameter provides the necessary strength without damaging smaller bone structures.
• 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.
• Sterilization Note: This device is provided as a NON-STERILE implant. It MUST be properly cleaned and sterilized via validated steam autoclave protocols in accordance with hospital guidelines and Synthes’ Instructions for Use (IFU) prior to clinical implantation.
