Synthes 212.119 3.5mm locking screw self-tapping with stardrive recess 45mm orthopedic hardware

Synthes 212.119 3.5mm locking screw self-tapping with stardrive recess 45mm orthopedic hardware

As a 3.5mm diameter screw with a substantial 45mm length, it is a critical component for stabilizing fractures in larger small-fragment regions, such as the proximal tibia, distal humerus, or calcaneus.

Technical specifications

• Brand: Synthes

Additional product details

• Unlike standard cortex screws, this locking screw features a threaded conical head that mechanically locks into the plate's threaded hole.
• Manufacturer: Synthes (DePuy Synthes)
• Screw Diameter: 3.5 mm
• Thread Profile: Self-Tapping / Fully Threaded
• Screw Length: 45 mm (Extended Reach)
• Core Diameter: 2.9 mm
• Thread Pitch: 0.8 mm
• Drive Type: StarDrive™ T15 (Torx compatible)
• Quantity: Individually Packaged, Sterile
• Fixed-Angle Stability: The threaded head locks into the plate, transforming the plate-screw assembly into a single rigid unit. This eliminates the need for the plate to be compressed against the bone to maintain stability, effectively preserving the periosteal blood supply.
• StarDrive™ Recess (T15): The StarDrive™ interface allows for higher torque transmission compared to traditional hexagonal drives.
• 316L Stainless Steel Biocompatibility: Cold-worked for high fatigue strength, the material is biologically inert and designed to withstand the cyclic loads encountered during early functional rehabilitation.
• Increased Core Diameter: At 2.9mm, the core is thicker than a standard 3.5mm cortex screw, providing increased resistance to bending and shear forces within the locking construct.
• Trauma Surgery: Fixation of metaphyseal and diaphyseal fractures in the tibia, humerus, and fibula using LCP technology.
• Osteopenic Bone Fixation: Providing stable anchorage in elderly patients where bone mineral density is reduced and standard screws may fail.
• Complex Comminution: Bridging fractures where the screw cannot rely on traditional interfragmentary compression for stability.
• Long-Segment Stabilization: The 45mm length is ideal for bicortical locking or for spanning wider bone diameters in reconstructive 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 in 2026.
