Synthes 212.106 3.5MM Locking Screw Self Tapping with Stardrive Recess 20MM

Synthes 212.106 3.5MM Locking Screw Self Tapping with Stardrive Recess 20MM

As a 3.5mm diameter locking screw, it features a threaded head that mechanically locks into the plate's threaded hole, creating a "fixed-angle" construct.

Technical specifications

• Brand: Synthes

Additional product details

• At a length of 20mm, this screw is ideal for bicortical fixation in small to medium bone structures, such as the radius, ulna, or fibula, where stable anchorage is required without excessive protrusion.
• Manufacturer: Synthes (DePuy Synthes)
• Screw Diameter: 3.5 mm
• Thread Profile: Self-Tapping
• Screw Length: 20 mm
• Drive Type: StarDrive™ Recess (T15)
• Head Type: Threaded (Locking)
• Quantity: Individually Packaged, Sterile
• Fixed-Angle Stability: The threaded head locks into the plate, effectively turning the plate and screw into a single rigid construct.
• StarDrive™ Torque Transmission: The StarDrive™ (T15) recess provides a significantly higher surface area for driver engagement compared to traditional hexagonal drives. This allows for higher torque transmission, reduces the risk of "cam-out," and virtually eliminates screw head stripping during insertion or removal.
• This eliminates the need for separate tapping, reducing operative time and decreasing the risk of thermal injury to the bone.
• Preservation of Blood Supply: Because the screw locks into the plate, it does not rely on pressing the plate against the bone to achieve stability. This "internal fixator" effect preserves the periosteal blood supply, facilitating faster biological healing.
• 316L Stainless Steel Integrity: Forged from cold-worked surgical steel, the 212.106 offers the high fatigue resistance necessary to withstand the cyclic loads of functional rehabilitation.
• Trauma Surgery: Fixation of diaphyseal and metaphyseal fractures in the humerus, radius, ulna, and fibula.
• Osteoporotic Bone Fixation: Providing stable anchorage where conventional screw threads may fail to maintain a secure "grip" in low-density bone.
• Bridge Plating: Using locking constructs to span comminuted fracture zones without disrupting the fracture hematoma.
• Corrective Osteotomies: Securely maintaining bone alignment following reconstructive realignment procedures.
• 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.
