Synthes 208.409 6.5MM Cannulated Screw 16MM THREAD 70MM

Synthes 208.409 6.5MM Cannulated Screw 16MM THREAD 70MM

The Synthes 208.409 is a high-load internal fixation implant designed for the stabilization of major fractures in large bone structures. As a 6.5mm diameter cannulated screw, it features a hollow central core designed for precise placement over a pre-positioned 2.8mm guide wire. This system is the clinical standard for minimally invasive (percutaneous) techniques, allowing the surgeon to confirm anatomical alignment via fluoroscopy before the screw is advanced.

Additional product details

• The 16mm Short Thread configuration (partially threaded) is specifically engineered to provide a powerful lag effect.
• Manufacturer: Synthes (DePuy Synthes)
• Screw Diameter: 6.5 mm
• Thread Profile: 16 mm Short Thread (Partial)
• Screw Length: 70 mm
• Cannulation: Compatible with 2.8 mm Guide Wires
• Head Type: 4.0 mm Hexagonal Socket
• Quantity: Individually Packaged, Sterile
• Guide-Wire Precision: The cannulated design allows for "over-the-wire" insertion. Once the 2.8mm guide wire trajectory is verified, the screw follows the wire exactly, eliminating the risk of "wandering" or misdirection in dense cancellous bone.
• Because the threads do not cross the fracture line into the proximal bone, the screw acts as a mechanical vice, pulling the distal fragment toward the head to close the fracture gap.
• High-Torque Hex Drive: The 4.0mm hexagonal recess provides the structural integrity required to transmit the high torque levels necessary for deep insertion into the femoral neck or pelvic cortex without stripping the head.
• 316L Stainless Steel Biocompatibility: Forged for high fatigue resistance, the material is designed to withstand the significant cyclic loads associated with weight-bearing in the femur and tibia during the healing process.
• Hip Surgery: Fixation of femoral neck fractures (intracapsular) and slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE).
• Pelvic & Acetabular Trauma: Stabilization of sacroiliac (SI) joint disruptions and large pelvic ring fractures.
• Knee Trauma: Compression of tibial plateau fractures or distal femoral condyle fractures where a 70mm reach is required.
• Ankle Arthrodesis: Large-joint fusions requiring significant compressive force across the joint space.
• 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.
