Synthes 212.130 3.5mm Locking Screw Self-Tapping w/ Stardrive Recess 90mm

• Model: 212.130
• 3.5mm
• A small, non-sterile, threaded rod with a slotted head typically used for internal orthopedic fracture fixation by being screwed into bone to hold plates or nails to bone or to provide direct interfragmentary stabilization of bone, or it may fasten soft tissue to bone; it is made of a material that cannot be chemically degraded or absorbed via natural body processes (includes implant grade metal such as surgical steel, titanium alloy, or carbon fiber).
• Screws available are: cortical, cancellous, malleolar, scaphoid, partially-threaded and fully-threaded, self-tapping, and cannulated.
• A "lag screw" can be any of these used to obtain compression.
• This device must be sterilized before use.

The Synthes 212.130 is a 3.5 mm self-tapping locking screw designed to provide secure fixation in small fragment orthopedic procedures. Its fully threaded shaft and 0.8 mm thread pitch ensure optimal engagement with the bone, while the 2.9 mm core diameter offers enhanced strength and load distribution. The threaded conical head facilitates alignment within the locking plate, creating a fixed-angle construct that enhances stability and promotes healing.

Equipped with a StarDrive recess (T15), the 212.130 screw allows for precise and efficient insertion using compatible drivers. This design minimizes the risk of slippage and ensures consistent torque application, which is crucial for achieving proper fixation. The screw's compatibility with Synthes' LCP systems ensures seamless integration into established surgical workflows, streamlining procedures and reducing operative time.

Crafted from high-quality stainless steel, the 212.130 screw offers excellent biocompatibility and resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for long-term implantation. Its non-sterile packaging requires sterilization prior to use, adhering to standard surgical protocols. The combination of robust material, precise design, and compatibility with advanced fixation systems makes the Synthes 212.130 an essential component for orthopedic surgeons seeking reliable solutions for small fragment fixation.
