Synthes 294.785 5.0MM Self-Drilling Schanz Screw 60MM THRD/175MM

Synthes 294.785 5.0MM Self-Drilling Schanz Screw 60MM THRD/175MM

As a 5.0mm diameter Schanz screw, it provides the structural rigidity required to stabilize major long-bone fractures, particularly in the femur, tibia, and humerus.

Technical specifications

• Brand: Synthes

Additional product details

• The Self-Drilling tip is a critical advancement in trauma surgery, featuring a sharp, trocar-style cutting geometry that allows the screw to be inserted directly into the bone using a power driver.
• Manufacturer: Synthes (DePuy Synthes)
• Screw Diameter: 5.0 mm
• Thread Length: 60 mm
• Total Length: 175 mm
• Tip Profile: Self-Drilling / Self-Tapping
• Compatibility: Standard External Fixator Clamps (Large/Medium Systems)
• Quantity: Individually Packaged, Sterile
• Self-Drilling Efficiency: The integrated drill tip allows for rapid monocortical or bicortical engagement. This is especially vital in emergency "damage control" orthopedics, where quick stabilization of unstable fractures is paramount.
• Radial Preload Stabilization: The design of the 5.0mm Schanz screw creates a "radial preload" during insertion.
• High Fatigue Resistance: Manufactured from cold-worked 316L stainless steel, the 294.785 is designed to withstand the significant bending moments and cyclic loads encountered in weight-bearing or high-motion anatomical regions.
• Blunt Shank Transition: The smooth 175mm shank allows for easy passage through soft tissue envelopes, reducing irritation at the skin-entry site.
• Damage Control Orthopedics: Rapid stabilization of femoral and tibial shaft fractures in polytrauma patients.
• Complex Periarticular Fractures: Providing a stable "bridge" across comminuted knee or ankle fractures.
• Corrective Osteotomies: Anchoring limb-lengthening or deformity-correction frames (e.g., Ilizarov or Monolateral fixators).
• Pelvic Stabilization: Use in anterior pelvic external fixators for the emergency stabilization of "open book" pelvic ring disruptions.
• 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 use in 2026.
