Synthes 294.784 5.0mm Self Drilling Schanz Screw 60mm Thread 150mm

Synthes 294.784 5.0mm Self Drilling Schanz Screw 60mm Thread 150mm

As a 5.0mm diameter Schanz screw with a 150mm overall length, it is a foundational component of the Synthes Large External Fixator system. This screw is specifically designed for the stabilization of fractures in the femur, tibia, and humerus.

Technical specifications

• Brand: Synthes
• Reference / model: 294.784
• Model: / REF: 294.784
• Material: 316L Stainless Steel (Surgical Grade)

Additional product details

• The "Self-Drilling" designation is a critical mechanical feature.
• Manufacturer: Synthes (DePuy Synthes)
• Thread Length: 60 mm
• Tip Style: Self-Drilling / Self-Tapping
• System Compatibility: Large External Fixation (8.0mm Rod System)
• Quantity: Individually Packaged, Sterile
• Self-Drilling Efficiency: The integrated drill tip allows for "one-step" insertion. This streamlines the surgical workflow in emergency trauma settings (e.g., "damage control" orthopedics) where rapid stabilization is vital to patient outcomes.
• Radial Prestress Technology: The screw geometry is designed to create a slight radial compression upon insertion.
• Biocompatible Strength: Forged from cold-worked 316L stainless steel, the 294.784 offers the high fatigue resistance necessary for long-term external fixation (weeks to months) without the risk of hardware failure.
• Damage Control Orthopedics: Rapid temporary stabilization of high-energy femoral or tibial fractures in polytrauma patients.
• Definitive External Fixation: Long-term stabilization of open fractures (Gustilo-Anderson Grade II/III) where internal fixation is contraindicated due to infection risk.
• Pelvic Stabilization: Anchorage into the iliac crest or supra-acetabular region for anterior pelvic frames.
• Pilon Fractures: Providing a stable proximal anchor for spanning ankle frames.
• 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.
