Additional product details

• Manufacturer: Synthes (DePuy Synthes)
• Screw Diameter: 4.0 mm
• Thread Profile: Long Thread (Partially Threaded)
• Screw Length: 22 mm
• Cannulation: Compatible with standard Synthes Guide Wires
• Head Type: Low-profile cruciform or hexagonal (depending on specific drive set)
• Quantity: Individually Packaged, Sterile
• Guide-Wire Controlled Precision: The cannulated design allows for "percutaneous" placement. Once the fracture is reduced and the guide wire is confirmed via fluoroscopy, the screw is advanced over the wire, virtually eliminating the risk of misplacement in complex anatomical zones.
• This creates powerful compression between the fragments as the screw head seats against the proximal cortex.
• Self-Drilling & Self-Tapping Tip: The distal tip features specialized cutting flutes that allow the screw to be inserted directly over the guide wire without the mandatory need for pre-drilling or tapping in many cancellous bone applications.
• Reverse Cutting Flutes: Many Synthes 4.0mm cannulated designs include reverse cutting flutes on the screw head to facilitate easier removal during subsequent hardware retrieval procedures.
• 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.
• Foot and Ankle Surgery: Fixation of malleolar fractures, calcaneal fractures, and midfoot arthrodesis.
• Hand and Wrist Surgery: Stabilization of carpal fractures (scaphoid) and small-bone osteotomies.
• Pediatric Orthopedics: Epiphyseal and metaphyseal fracture fixation (e.g., Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis or triplane fractures).
• Trauma Surgery: Stabilization of small-bone fragments and avulsion fractures where precise anatomical alignment is critical.
• 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.
