Synthes 214.868 4.5mm Cortex Screw Self-Tapping 68mm

Synthes 214.868 4.5mm Cortex Screw Self-Tapping 68mm

• Model: 214.868
• 4.5mm
• 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 an 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 214.868 is a 4.5 mm self-tapping cortex screw designed to provide secure fixation in orthopedic procedures. Its fully threaded shaft and 1.75 mm thread pitch ensure optimal engagement with the bone, while the 3.0 mm core diameter offers enhanced strength and load distribution. The large hexagonal socket head facilitates efficient insertion and minimizes the risk of tool slippage, ensuring precise placement during surgery.

Equipped with a large hexagonal socket, the 214.868 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 standard instrumentation systems ensures seamless integration into established surgical workflows, streamlining procedures and reducing operative time.

Crafted from high-quality stainless steel, the 214.868 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 214.868 an essential component for orthopedic surgeons seeking reliable solutions for cortical bone fixation.
